Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mini naan breads or regular naan cut into halves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Tandoori spice blend
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh mozzarella, cubed or torn
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of each naan with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with tandoori spice blend for added flavor. Place the naan on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the naan in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly crispy but still soft in the center. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the naan is baking, prepare the toppings. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, mint, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Cut the baked naan into smaller, bite-sized pieces if desired or leave them whole for larger servings.
Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each naan to evenly distribute the topping.
Top with cubes or torn pieces of fresh mozzarella, slightly pressing them into the tomato mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta for an optional touch of sweetness.
Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or snack, and enjoy the fusion of Indian and Italian flavors!
