Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces small naan breads or pita breads
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups arugula
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the naan or pita breads on the prepared baking sheet. Brush evenly with olive oil.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses over the naan, dividing evenly between the four bases.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the naan are golden brown.
While the pizzas are baking, prepare the salad topping. In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, arugula, and red onion slices.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad mixture and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Once the pizzas are out of the oven, let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Then, top each pizza with a generous portion of the salad mixture.
Cut into slices (optional) and serve immediately for a combination of warm cheesy pizza and fresh, tangy salad.
