Ingredients

  • 4 count naan flatbreads
  • 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 2 count Roma tomatoes
  • 1 bunch fresh basil
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 package bagged salad

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Place the naan on a large sheet pan and brush the tops with a little olive oil.
  2. Spread about 1/4 cup sauce on each flatbread, leaving a small border.
  3. Thinly slice the tomatoes and tear the mozzarella into pieces. Arrange over the sauce and sprinkle with parmesan.
  4. Bake 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are crisp.
  5. Top with torn basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Cut into wedges and serve with the bagged salad.
  6. Picky eaters can have the naan with just sauce and cheese, or build their own with the toppings.
  7. Make ahead: slice the tomatoes and tear the mozzarella up to a day ahead, store covered in the fridge, then assemble and bake.

On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)

1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)

  1. Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
