I Love You, Naan!

Get it?

Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread. It is one of the most popular varieties of South Asian breads & is finding its way into supermarkets here. I started using it a month ago & have not stopped. Whether for lunch, dinner or even breakfast, I throw on some toppings, bake for a few minutes & I am good to go. And it's quick since there is no rolling out & healthy with its whole grain variety.

There are 2 pieces to a package so it's easy to personalize for different people in the fam!

BREAKFAST PIZZA ON NAAN

Printable Recipe

1-2 tblsp Alouette Garlic & Herb Spreadable Cheese (optional)
1 piece of Naan
2 large eggs
1 cup of fresh baby spinach
Shredded cheese
Salt & Pepper
Hot sauce (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 350. Spread piece of Naan with garlic & herb cheese. Whisk eggs in bowl. Cook in pan with cooking spray. Once set, toss in spinach & scramble until eggs are cooked through & spinach is wilted. Spread on top of garlic & herb cheese. Top with 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Bake Naan for 8 minutes directly on oven rack then turn oven to broil until edges of Naan are nice & golden. Season with salt, pepper & hot sauce. Cut into wedges.

{Food for Thought}

I had leftover garlic & herb cheese I wanted to use up. You could omit it or you can even scramble it in with your eggs & spinach.

For less work, I leave the oven rack in the middle of the oven, even when I turn setting to broil. This way, I don’t have to worry about the pizza burning badly from being too close to heat source. It still gets nice & brown while being heated through.

RICOTTA TOMATO PIZZA ON NAAN

Printable Recipe

¼ - ½ cup ricotta
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp basil
½ tsp red pepper flakes
Dash of nutmeg
Dash cinnamon
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic, minced
1 piece of Naan
Tomato, sliced thinly




Mix ricotta cheese with oregano, basil, pepper flakes, nutmeg & cinnamon. Set aside. Saute spinach with some freshly minced garlic for a few minutes until slightly wilted & fragrant. Spread spinach on top of Naan. Place tomato slices on top. Then dollop ricotta mixture by the tablespoon across the top. Bake for 10 minutes directly on oven rack then turn oven to broil until edges of Naan are nice & golden.

{Food for Thought}

My mom has always put nutmeg & cinnamon in her ricotta when making stuffed shells. I started doing it & I just think it brings out a little sweetness in the cheese. You definitely don’t want more than a dash.

For less work, I leave the oven rack in the middle of the oven, even when I turn setting to broil. This way, I don’t have to worry about the pizza burning badly from being too close to heat source. It still gets nice & brown while being heated through.
