Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 naan breads
Cream Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Toppings
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 ½ cups fresh diced tomatoes
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the naan and melt the cheese perfectly.
- Prepare the cream sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together. Stir in the minced garlic and simmer for 1 minute until fragrant. Next, add half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Stir well and let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine beautifully. Remove sauce from heat once done.
- Assemble the pizzas: Place each naan bread on a baking sheet. Spoon a thin, even layer of the prepared cream sauce onto each naan, spreading gently to cover. Distribute half a cup of chopped spinach, half a cup of sliced mushrooms, and an even layer of diced tomatoes over the sauce on each flatbread.
- Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle each topped naan evenly with the mozzarella cheese. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the naan edges are crisp.
- Serve: Remove the flatbread pizzas from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
