Spinach, Feta, Tomato + Pine Nut Pizza

Fig and Rose Spinach Feta Tomato Pine Nut Pizza

Individual pizzas are my newest obsession.  Easiest, fastest and tastiest things ever.  And you can throw whatever on top. And it looks fancy.

Ingredients:

4 pre-made Naan (2 packages)
1/2 cup Pine Nuts
2 oz Feta Cheese, crumbled
1 cup Baby Spinach
2 tbsp. Fresh Basil, chopped
3 Tomatoes, sliced
Olive Oil
Salt + Pepper, to taste


I threw in the tomatoes because I love tomatoes. And I had three that were about to pass their prime, just sitting in the fridge (yes, they'd already gotten to the refrigerate-or-chuck stage).  But I think that it made the pizzas more flavorful too.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place naan on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top.

2. Crumble feta and put on naan.


I just did it with my hands - feta crumbles incredibly easily.  And I used about half of what I set out.


3. Place handful of spinach on each.  Slice tomatoes and add, then sprinkle with pine nuts.  Last, chop basil and add on top.


I actually just ripped the basil with my hands - easy to do.

4. Heat in oven for 10 minutes, or until naan is crispy and golden around the edges.


The feta doesn't melt, so don't wait for that.

Quick. Easy. Tasty.

Goat Cheese, Eggplant, Tomato + Arugula Pizza

Fig and Rose Goat Cheese Eggplant Tomato Arugula Pizza

This recipe is one that I made up, based on these wraps that I do occasionally. It's the best go-to ever, because it's super quick, easy, and uses up leftover veggies. You can do this with any type of cheese and toppings, and add on marinara sauce if you want a red pizza.

I started making pizza on naan a while ago, because you can buy it at the grocery store and it's perfectly sized for an individual pizza. And it's delicious.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

4 Naan
1 small Eggplant, sliced width-wise
1/2 package Goat Cheese (or 1/2 container of Crumbled Goat Cheese)
4 small handfuls Arugula
2 tbsp Dried Basil, divided
2 Tomatoes, sliced
Salt + Pepper, to taste
Olive Oil


Forgot the balsamic vinegar. One day, I'll get all the ingredients right in the picture...

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Slice eggplant and tomato.

3. On a small plate, cover surface with olive oil and sprinkle 1 tbsp of dried basil on top. 


4. Dip each slice of eggplant in the olive oil on both sides and place on a large pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until eggplant is soft and browned.



5. Put naan on a large baking sheet and spread goat cheese on top. Drizzle in olive oil and sprinkle remaining basil on top.


6. Add eggplant and tomato to naan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper


7. Place in oven for 10 minutes, or until naan is crispy.

8. Add handful of arugula to each pizza and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar.



So good.
