Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza:
- 2 pieces of naan bread (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing the naan)
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
For the Honey-Caramelized Onions:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until softened and golden brown.
- Add Honey and Season: Once the onions are caramelized, drizzle in the honey and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the honey to coat the onions. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the naan pizzas.
- Brush the Naan Bread: Brush both pieces of naan with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated on both sides to enhance crispness and flavor.
- Warm the Naan: Place the naan on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until they are warm and lightly crisped, creating a sturdy base.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Remove the naan from the oven and evenly distribute the honey-caramelized onions over each piece as the savory base layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the onions, then top with fresh blueberries for sweet, juicy bursts of flavor.
- Bake the Pizzas: Return the naan pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the feta cheese begins to soften and the blueberries start to burst, melding the flavors together.
- Garnish: Remove the pizzas from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil for a fresh aromatic finish.
- Serve: Slice the pizzas and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of warm, sweet, and tangy flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute the naan bread with pita or flatbread if desired.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the feta is made with vegetarian-friendly rennet.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred level of sweetness in the onions.
- Fresh basil can be replaced with arugula or mint for a different herbal flavor.
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
