Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Open package of Naan bread (easy enough!)
  • Place Naan on baking sheet (for softer "crust") or tin foil (for a more crispy "crust")
  • Take spoonful of homemade (or store bought) basil pesto and spread on each piece of Naan
  • Open mozzarella cheese package and break off small pieces by hand, placing on the Naan - should have some space in between each
  • Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Move carefully to the oven and bake for 10-15 mins.
  • Switch oven to high broil for 2-3 mins. to lightly brown the cheese
  • Let cool for a couple mins before slicing and enjoy!

Notes

Cost is based on using my Fresh Basil Pesto recipe. It would be a bit cheaper if you purchased pesto at the store, but only by a few dollars.
