A quick and delicious 15-minute Mediterranean flatbread pizza featuring flavorful pesto, fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese, all baked to perfection on store-bought naan for an easy yet gourmet meal.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • 2 cooked flatbreads (or store-bought naan)

Spread and Aromatics

  • 2 Tablespoons pesto
  • 1 Tablespoon shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Cheeses and Toppings

  • 4 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
  • 2 Tablespoons Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Finishing Touches

  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position a pizza stone or line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on it, ready for toppings.
  2. Spread pesto and aromatics. Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of pesto across the two flatbreads. Distribute the thinly sliced shallots and garlic cloves evenly over each flatbread for bright, aromatic flavor.
  3. Add cheeses and toppings. Layer the flatbreads with sliced fresh mozzarella, then sprinkle julienned sun-dried tomatoes and sliced Kalamata olives evenly between them. Finish by crumbling feta cheese on top and sprinkling dried oregano over each flatbread.
  4. Bake until golden and melty. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown and the cheese has melted beautifully.
  5. Garnish and serve. Remove from oven and garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve warm for a savory Mediterranean treat.

Notes

  • Use store-bought naan or any pre-cooked flatbread for a quick and easy base.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice preference or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet and tangy punch; substitute with fresh tomatoes if preferred but note the difference in texture.
  • For a vegetarian but not vegan option, whole milk mozzarella and feta work great; substitute with vegan cheese if needed.
  • To add extra protein, consider adding cooked chicken or chickpeas before baking.
