Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 mini pizzas
Ingredients
- 4 mini naan breads
- 1 cup creamy asiago cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Remove mini naan breads from packaging and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce evenly across each naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges for a crispy crust.
- Sprinkle shredded asiago cheese generously over the marinara sauce, covering almost the entire surface of each naan bread.
- Distribute sliced black olives and bell peppers evenly across the top of the cheese, ensuring a balanced distribution of toppings.
- Sprinkle dried oregano over the mini pizzas to add a classic Italian herb flavor and enhance the overall taste profile.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the naan bread edges become golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let the mini pizzas rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning.
- Slice each mini naan pizza diagonally and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Use high-quality naan bread for the best texture and flavor - fresh or slightly warmed works best.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve that perfect crispy edge and melted cheese.
- Don't overload your naan with toppings - a balanced approach ensures even cooking.
- For extra flavor, consider brushing the naan edges with olive oil before baking.
- Let the pizzas rest briefly after cooking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning.
- Experiment with different cheese blends or add protein like grilled chicken for variety.
- Serve immediately for the ultimate crispy and hot pizza experience.
