Flat Bread Two Ways

Here is what we do when we make flat breads-We go and buy naan bread, and then prepare the flat breads one of 2 ways; either it is a bruschetta flat bread with a pesto sauce, or a mushroom flat bread with mushrooms sauteed with garlic, shallots and white truffle oil and a balsamic "sauce". The bruschetta flat bread we would top with some chopped spinach and maybe some basil for greens on top, and the mushroom one we would top with chopped spinach and arugula. Both are supremely tasty!! These recipes are mostly eyeballed for ingredients, so just have some fun with them, and see what you like, and how much of that ingredient you like to use. :) I have listed links to certain recipes for Bruschetta or Pesto, but if you have a recipe you already like for these things, then just use that!

Salt to taste

Directions-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place naan bread on baking sheet and place in oven to crisp it up before adding other ingredients.
Prepare both bruschetta and pesto. Remove naan bread from oven once it is slightly crispy. Spread pesto on the bread, and top with a generous amount of bruschetta. Place in oven for a few minutes until heated through. Top with chopped greens and serve.

Mushroom Flat Bread:


Ingredients-
Naan bread, or other flat bread/pizza crust of choice
Garlic 2-3 cloves
1 Shallot
Mushrooms, sliced (we use crimini, and/or baby bellas)
Balsamic Glaze or regular old Balsamic Vinegar :)
White Truffle Oil
Salt to taste

Directions-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place naan bread on baking sheet and place in oven to crisp it up before adding other ingredients.
While naan bread is getting slightly crispy in the oven, sauté the mushrooms, garlic, shallot and truffle oil (as much as you like for flavor) until everything is well sautéed. Salt to taste.
Remove naan bread from oven once it is slightly crispy. Spread balsamic on the naan bread generously, and top with the mushroom mixture. Place in oven for a few minutes until heated through. Top with chopped greens and perhaps drizzle with a little balsamic glaze and serve.
