Pecan, Grape, and Pickled Onion Flatbread

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces
  • 1 small bunch black or red grapes (about 15 grapes)
  • 1 handful of pickled onions (about 1/2 cup or to taste) or 1/4 small red onion
  • 4 naan breads
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 teaspoons Pecorino or Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pickled Onions:
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. If using, at least one hour before serving, make the pickled onions. (Alternatively, use fresh red onion; see below)
  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Place pecan pieces in a small skillet, then heat over low heat for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove from the heat.
  4. Slice the grapes in half.
  5. If using red onion, thinly slice the red onion. If desired, rinse the sliced under cold water and then drain (this helps to remove some of the bite).
  6. Place naan directly on the oven grate and pre-bake 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the naan from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  7. Top each naan with about 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, a thin grating of Pecorino cheese, toasted pecan pieces, grapes, and Pickled Onions. Garnish with thyme leaves (pull off leaves and tender stems over the pizza) and a sprinkle of kosher salt. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
