Basil Pesto Naan with Caramelized Shallot & Pine Nuts
Naan bread is great for making small pizzas for 1 or 2 servings
Ingredients
- mini naan bread {I used Stone Fire naan}
- shallots diced {plan on 1/2 shallot per naan}
- 1 T butter
- 1 T olive oil
- basil pesto* {I used Giovanni Rana}
- shredded Parmesan or Manchego cheese
- pine nuts
- fresh basil leaves chopped
Instructions
- Caramelize shallots by slowing sauteing them in a skillet with butter and olive oil, about 20 minutes. Spread naan with a generous layer of pesto. Add shallots, pine nuts and sprinkle with cheese. Toast in toaster oven for about 4 minutes or until golden and cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh basil. You can assemble these ahead of time and refrigerate until toasting.
