Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza
- 2 pieces of naan bread (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing the naan)
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
For the Honey-Caramelized Onions
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until softened and golden brown.
- Add Honey and Seasonings: Once the onions are caramelized, drizzle in the honey, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the honey to coat the onions. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for warming and crisping the naan.
- Brush Naan with Olive Oil: Lightly coat both sides of the naan bread with olive oil using a brush.
- Warm Naan: Place the naan on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until warm and lightly crispy.
- Assemble Pizzas: Remove the naan from the oven and evenly distribute the honey-caramelized onions over each piece.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and fresh blueberries evenly over the onions on each naan.
- Bake Assembled Pizzas: Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the feta starts to soften and blueberries begin to burst.
- Garnish: Remove the pizzas from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
- Serve: Slice the pizzas and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best burst of flavor; frozen blueberries may release too much liquid.
- Adjust caramelization time to avoid burning onions; low and slow is key to sweetness.
- For a crispy bottom, use a preheated baking stone or pizza steel if available.
- Leftover pizzas can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a skillet or oven.
- Substitute goat cheese or ricotta for feta if preferred, for a creamier texture.
