Oops I, did it again… to your heart (er, stomachs).

Got lost, in this mix of bruschetta, burrata, and pesto…

Oops you, think that it’s sent from above… and it totally is.

Ok, but really, I couldn’t let this tomato season slip by without another easy flatbread pizza recipe, or another bruschetta recipe.

The best of all easy dinner worlds. The best quick appetizer that feels kind of bar-fancy, was made to be paired with wine, and one that you’ll keep going to over and over again.

I’m talking 15 minutes, and 6-ish ingredients (never counting olive oil and salt, because those are what we call pantry essentials).

Those are stats that can’t be beat.

What is bruschetta pizza?

Well, you know bruschetta is basically the best thing on this planet, right?

That mix of fresh garden tomatoes (or, you know, store bought cherry tomatoes in the middle of winter will suffice here), shallot and garlic for the best flavor burst, and fresh basil.

And, well, you know what pizza is, but this one is even better than just pizza, because it’s a flatbread pizza. Made on naan. Which means this recipe is THE EASIEST. No kneading dough, no waiting for it to rise, no nothing.

You know I love a good homemade pizza. Really.

I also really love super easy, quick pizza recipes that are full of flavor but that I can whip up on a Wednesday night when I’m just too dang tired to cook and need something comforting.

And full of cheese.

And carbs.

And flavor.

How to Make Bruschetta Flatbread

Can I overstress how easy this is to make? It’s The easiest flatbread recipe because, as I said, we’ve got naan bread for the base.

And a naan flatbread pizza cannot be beat as far as simple dinners go.

Start with the naan and spread a layer of pesto on top.

This is KEY for the basil flavor in the bruschetta, especially if it’s the middle of winter and fresh basil costs an arm and a leg (and you know, hopefully, you have some fresh pesto that you froze this summer?).

If not, the store-bought kind will definitely do here.

On top of the pesto goes the bruschetta tomato mixture: diced cherry (or grape, or whatever you have!) tomatoes, shallot, and a little garlic (ok, go ahead and do a lot of garlic).

I do leave out the basil for the cooking part. Add that on top for garnish so it stays fresh and bright green.

After the tomatoes, on goes creamy, creamy, burrata.

*Be sure to blog your burrata dry before adding it to the pizza!

P.S. If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella is an excellent substitute!

So tear the burrata apart (remember, the inside is c.r.e.a.m.y), spread it out, and voila, your naan pizza is ready for the oven!

Bake it up, and once the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown, you’re ready! I like to top it with red pepper flakes, a little ground black pepper, and sea salt flakes. Oh, and again, some fresh basil.

Fresh basil garnish always make everything better.
