Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 7 oz / 200 g) store-bought flatbread or naan
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • ยฝ cup fresh blueberries
  • Handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). Place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up while you prep the toppings.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil with minced garlic. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavor.
  3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them gently in a bowl with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little of the garlic olive oil.
  4. Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Place the flatbread on it and brush the garlic olive oil evenly over the surface.
  5. Arrange the tomatoes, mozzarella pieces, and blueberries in rows or stripes across the flatbread, mimicking a flag pattern. Leave some space so the flatbread cooks evenly.
  6. Bake the flatbread in the oven for 10โ€“12 minutes, or until the mozzarella is soft and starting to melt, and the edges of the flatbread turn golden brown.
  7. Once out of the oven, scatter torn basil leaves on top. Add a light drizzle of olive oil and, if desired, a few drops of balsamic glaze.
  8. Let the flatbread cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Brush the flatbread with garlic-infused olive oil before adding toppings to enhance flavor and crispiness. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent sogginess. Preheat baking surface for a crisp bottom crust. Add fresh basil after baking to keep its bright flavor. If flatbread bubbles up, gently press it down with a spatula halfway through baking.
