Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mini flatbreads or naan
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice each cherry tomato in half and set aside.
Finely mince the garlic clove and combine it with olive oil in a small bowl.
Brush each flatbread with the garlic olive oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle a thin, even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on each flatbread.
Add halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese, cut side up, distributing them evenly across the flatbreads.
Season the flatbreads with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
While the flatbreads are baking, rinse and pat dry the basil leaves, then tear them into smaller pieces if desired.
Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and immediately top them with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.
Drizzle each flatbread with balsamic glaze, if using, for added sweetness and tang.
Cut the flatbreads into smaller slices or serve them whole. Enjoy your Tomato Basil Pizza Snack while warm!
