Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 naan breads
- 1 cup mixed mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even heating.
- Clean and slice the mixed mushrooms into thin, uniform pieces. Use a combination of mushrooms like shiitake, cremini, and oyster for varied texture and flavor.
- Place the naan breads on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of truffle oil evenly across each naan bread, using a pastry brush to spread it to the edges.
- Distribute the sliced mushrooms evenly over the naan breads, ensuring they are spread out for consistent cooking.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the mushrooms, covering them completely.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the mushroom and cheese flavors.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the naan are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the remaining truffle oil over the hot pizzas.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, which will add a bright, fresh element to the rich, earthy flavors.
- Let the naan pizzas cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Mushroom Selection: Mix different mushroom varieties for complex flavor and texture. Shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms work beautifully together.
- Truffle Oil Technique: Use high-quality truffle oil sparingly - it's potent! Drizzle before and after baking to maximize its aromatic impact.
- Cheese Melting Hack: For perfectly melted cheese, ensure your oven is fully preheated and use freshly shredded mozzarella for the smoothest coverage.
- Crispy Naan Secret: Position your oven rack in the middle to ensure even heating and achieve that perfect golden, crispy naan base.
- Fresh Herb Finishing: Chop parsley just before serving to maintain its vibrant color and fresh flavor.Pro Tip: Let the naan pizzas rest for 2-3 minutes after baking - this allows the cheese to set and makes slicing easier while keeping the crispy texture intact!
