Ingredients
1 piece flatbread such as naan or pita
½ cup hummus, any flavor
5 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
5 fresh tomato slices
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the flatbread on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly crispy and golden.
- While the flatbread bakes, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture thickens and reduces to a syrupy consistency (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the flatbread is done baking, remove it from the oven and spread a thin layer of hummus evenly across the surface.
- Place the mozzarella slices on top of the hummus, followed by the tomato slices.
- Return the flatbread to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella has melted slightly.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven and sprinkle the chopped basil on top.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the flatbread and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra protein, try adding grilled chicken, turkey, or chickpeas to the flatbread.
For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and hummus for a completely plant-based dish.
Substitute hummus with pesto or ricotta if preferred.
For more heat, add red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.
