Recipe Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
- 1/4 cup mascarpone, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 garlic or plain naans, defrosted if frozen
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- Red pepper flakes, optional
How To Make 4-Cheese Flatbreads?
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 230°C / 450°F.
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the fontina, mozzarella, mascarpone, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
- Assemble the flatbreads: Place the naan on a baking sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto onto each piece. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the naan.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if using. Enjoy immediately!
Recipe Tips:
- Use fresh naan: Fresh or defrosted naan gives the best texture, with a soft inside and crispy edges. Avoid using dry or stale naan for the best result.
- Spread pesto evenly: Don’t overload the naan with pesto. Spread a thin, even layer to allow the cheeses to shine without overwhelming the flavor.
- Check the cheese: For a perfectly melted, golden-brown cheese topping, make sure your oven is fully preheated and avoid opening the door while baking.
- Customize your cheese: If you don’t have fontina or mascarpone, try swapping them with gouda or ricotta. Just make sure to keep the balance of creamy and melty cheeses for that delicious texture.
- Add toppings after baking: If you want extra toppings like fresh basil or arugula, add them after baking to keep them fresh and vibrant instead of wilting.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover 4-Cheese Flatbreads cool to room temperature. Then, wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: To freeze, wrap the flatbreads tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then place them in a freezer bag. They will stay good for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the flatbread in the basket and air fry for 3-4 minutes, checking halfway through. This will keep the edges crispy.
