Naan Pizzas are a godsend some days; especially today. On a less than stellar day one thing that can always improve the mood is a fancy-ish pizza and a glass or three of wine. When you think of pizza, you may think of something that goes in the oven with cheese and tomato sauce, however pizza can be far more in-depth than the old Italian stand-by and the use of naan as crust is a good example of such. It is a zero effort pizza crust that can be topped with practically anything that’s lying around in the fridge. Any cheese, any veggie, any meat, even fruit; especially fruit. I chose to go with bacon and cherry balsamic glaze this time. Delicious, but effortless. Top with Gorgonzola and this pizza is out of this world. Here’s what you’re going to need:
- Package of Naan
- Package of Bacon (I used Goodshall’s turkey bacon)
- Buttermilk
- Avocado or Olive Oil
- Minced Garlic
- Arugula
- Feta Cheese
- Gorgonzola
- 1 cup of Cherries
- 1/4 C. Sugar
- Balsamic Vinegar
Heat your cherries in pan with sugar until thickened. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar, stir well, turn off the heat and set aside. Throw some bacon on a griddle pan, let it cook until nicely browned, then toss on the naan to warm a bit. Mix some buttermilk and oil in a small bowl, adding minced garlic and combine well. Brush onto the naan then top with feta cheese and heat until it gets a little melty, then add arugula. Top with bacon, then Gorgonzola. Drizzle cherry balsamic glaze over top and Enjoy!
This little pizza can be made so many different ways, I love it with smoked trout and blueberries, figs and prosciutto, pears and pancetta. It makes such a simple but delicious dinner, whether you are cooking for yourself, or a small party this is a go to solution for a quick, but elegant meal.
