End of Summer Pizza

October 18, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 6 Comments

End of Summer PizzaI’m pretty excited that I just made this wonderfulness for lunch. I’m calling it End of Summer Pizza because my whole goal was to come up with a great way to use the last of my basil and that’s what I did. End of Summer Pizza is easy to make and healthier than ordering delivery pizza because a) it’s loaded with veggies, and b) I don’t have a bunch of leftovers calling to me and driving me crazy until I eat every last bite. Know what I mean?

The crust is Naan, an Indian flat-bread purchased from the grocery store. Yes, I could have made it, but I’m trying to keep it simple while still eating well. Plus, I don’t make crust.

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Naan
  • Olive oil
  • Parmesan Regianno
  • Green onions chopped
  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes sliced thinly
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped red pepper
  • Basil chopped
  • Shredded cheese I used 6-blend Italian
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Brush Naan with olive oil.
  • Grate parmesan over Naan.
  • Layer chopped green onions, thinly sliced tomatoes, chopped red pepper, and basil (in that order).
  • Sprinkle with grated 6-cheese Italian blend, or cheese of choice.
  • Add more grated parmesan. Please, use the real thing not the stuff in the can.
  • Top with a slice of red bell pepper for additional flavor and crunch. Add salt and pepper.
  • Bake 5-7 minutes until cheese has melted.

A couple of things… I think goat cheese would have been a great addition, but I didn’t have any. Really, add whatever you like—shredded chicken, black olives, purple onions, etc. You could also add pesto sauce or tomato sauce instead of olive oil.

Musical Pairing:

This has nothing whatsoever to do with my pizza, other than I love this performance, Barrett Baber lives in Fayetteville, and I was walking in Memphis last week.
