Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base and Toppings

  • 2 pieces of naan bread
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 slices of cooked bacon
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh arugula

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the naan and melt the cheese perfectly.
  2. Prepare the naan bread: Place the naan pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Add cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over each naan, creating a melty, cheesy base for your flatbread.
  4. Layer bacon and tomatoes: Arrange the pre-cooked bacon slices evenly on top of the cheese, then distribute the halved cherry tomatoes across the flatbreads for fresh bursts of flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the naan are lightly crispy and golden.
  6. Make the dressing: While baking, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a zesty dressing that complements the flatbread.
  7. Cool slightly: Once baked, remove the naan from the oven and let them cool just enough so the arugula doesn’t wilt when added.
  8. Top with arugula: Pile a generous amount of fresh arugula on each naan to add a peppery, crisp contrast to the warm toppings.
  9. Drizzle dressing: Spoon the prepared dressing over the arugula evenly for a creamy, tangy finish.
  10. Serve: Slice the flatbreads into portions and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute arugula with spinach for a milder green flavor.
  • For an extra kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the flatbread before baking.
  • Using heirloom cherry tomatoes adds a colorful and flavorful dimension.
  • This flatbread pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of white wine for a light meal.
