Though I adore my time spent in the kitchen, school nights are straight up crazy around here. The last thing I want to do is trash the kitchen with a complicated recipe. I need something quick and easy that everyone will eat so we can tackle homework, bath time, and wrestle our little monkey into bed at a reasonable hour.

Since there’s no dough to make, you can have a scrumptious pizza on the table in just 20 minutes! YES!

Feel free to use naan bread, pita bread, or your favorite bakery flatbread to make this easy peasy pizza. You an even use with mini naan or pitas if you’d like. Kids (and adults!) go absolutely ape for anything cute and little.

Ingredients

• 1 naan or pita flatbread
• 3 TBSP pizza sauce or thick spaghetti sauce
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
• pinch of red pepper flakes optional
• pinch of Italian blend seasoning
• 1-2 tsp sweet balsamic glaze
• fresh basil for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven!) to 350 degrees F.
2. Spread flatbread with sauce and top with freshly grated mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. 
3. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning on top and bake for 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly!
4. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkling of fresh basil. Yum!

Recipe Notes

Feel free to pick up some balsamic glaze at the grocery store (you can find it near the balsamic vinegar and comes in a few tasty varieties) or make your own.

For homemade balsamic glaze, mix 1 cup of your favorite balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced by half, approx. 20 minutes. Sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools. Cool and store in the fridge for all your drizzling needs!
