Garlic and Mozzarella Flatbread

With the quickest and tastiest of shortcuts, this flatbread can be made any night of the week - whether it's for company or just yourself.



The key to this super quick flatbread is using pre-made naan from your favorite bakery or supermarket. Then it all comes down layering olive oil, cheese and broiling for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbly and a little golden brown in places. Sprinkle with basil, lemon juice, and classic pizzeria pepper flakes and you've got a meal in 20 minutes flat.



It's easy to get creative with a little crispy bacon, red onion, banana peppers or sausage for something new. After it's baked, mix it up with different herbs like fresh thyme or chives.
