Author: Jenn Laughlin - Peas and Crayons
Ingredients
- 1 naan or pita flatbread
- 3 TBSP pizza sauce or thick spaghetti sauce
- ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
- ⅛ tsp of red pepper flakes optional
- ⅛ tsp of Italian blend seasoning
- 1-2 tsp sweet balsamic glaze
- fresh basil for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven (or toaster oven!) to 350 degrees F.
Spread flatbread with sauce and top with freshly grated mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning on top and bake for 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly!
Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkling of fresh basil. Yum!
Notes
Feel free to pick up some balsamic glaze at the grocery store (you can find it near the balsamic vinegar and comes in a few tasty varieties) or make your own.
For homemade balsamic glaze, mix 1 cup of your favorite balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced by half, approx. 20 minutes. Sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools. Cool and store in the fridge for all your drizzling needs!
