What You’ll Need

Gather these simple ingredients:

2 large naan breads
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 fresh peach, thinly sliced
4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
15 basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)

Let’s Make It Together

Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Peach & Basil Naan Bread Pizza:

Preheat your oven to 350°F degrees.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic until well combined.
Brush the oil mixture generously over both naan breads.
Place the naan on a spritzed cookie sheet, ensuring they have enough space.
Layer the slices of fresh mozzarella all over the naan breads.
Next, elegantly arrange the sliced peaches on top of the cheese.
Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper over both pieces.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn!
(Optional) While the naan pizzas are baking, add the balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer, cooking until the vinegar reduces and thickens slightly.
Once the flatbreads are done baking, sprinkle the chopped basil leaves on top.
If you’re using the balsamic reduction, drizzle it over your delicious naan pizzas. Cut into slices and serve warm!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Vegetable Medley: Incorporate a variety of veggies like roasted red peppers or arugula to enhance the flavors and texture.
