Ingredients
- 2 garlic naan
- 2 cloves garlic, minced and separated
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus a little extra for drizzling)
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3 Tbsp cream cheese
- 1/2 white onion, sliced or diced
- 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 tsp rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2-1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Salt and fresh-cracked pepper to taste
- Large cookie sheet
- Large skillet
- Small mixing bowl
- Small skillet
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a baking sheet (large enough to hold the two pieces of naan) with parchment paper or a silicon baking pad. Drizzle one side of each naan with a little olive oil and brush to coat entire crust with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place oiled/seasoned side down on lined baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onion, season with a pinch of salt, and sauté for roughly 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the onion is translucent but not yet caramelized, add one clove of minced garlic, the rosemary, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for two minutes before pouring in the mushrooms. Season with another pinch of salt and a few twists of cracked black pepper.
Sauté the mushrooms with the onions until the mushrooms brown, approximately 5 additional minutes. Stir in the drained spinach and cook mixture just enough to heat the spinach through.
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, one minced garlic clove, a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of salt, and a twist or three of cracked pepper.
Transfer to a small skillet and heat over medium heat just long enough to soften the cream cheese, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Spread the flavored cream cheese on the two naan as you would a pizza sauce.
Top each naan crust equally with the cooked mushroom, onion, and spinach mixture. Sprinkle the top of each pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the oven for twelve minutes, or until the cheese is melted. I like to broil the pizza for a minute or two at the end to make the cheese all melty and brown.
