Ingredients:

  • 2 large (10 oz / 283g) naan or pre-made flatbreads
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced
  • 4 oz (113g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup (60g) caramelized onions
  • 1/2 cup (50g) shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey or balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp (1g) red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil for 30 seconds until fragrant but not brown.
  3. Toss fresh spinach in the pan for 60 seconds just until wilted, then remove from heat.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on top.
  5. Brush the garlic-olive oil mixture evenly across the surface of the flatbreads, leaving a 1/2 inch border for the crust.
  6. Layer the shredded mozzarella first to create a moisture barrier, followed by the wilted spinach and caramelized onions.
  7. Drop dollops of goat cheese evenly across the top; do not spread them to ensure creamy pockets.
  8. Bake on the center rack at 425°F (218°C) for 12 minutes or until the crust is mahogany-colored and crisp.
  9. Finish with a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and fresh basil leaves.
