Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
2. Prep the Naan:
Place naan on the baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil (optional for crispiness).
3. Spread Sauce:
Spread your chosen sauce (cream cheese, tomato sauce, or pesto) evenly over each naan.
4. Add Toppings:
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the base, then layer veggies like tomatoes, onions, and spinach. Crack 1 egg into the center of each naan.
5. Bake:
Carefully place the sheet in the oven. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until:
The egg whites are set (yolks can remain runny or fully cooked based on preference).
The cheese is melted and bubbly.
The naan edges are golden and crisp.
6. Finish & Serve:
Season with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes. Add avocado, hot sauce, or fresh herbs (like cilantro or basil) if desired. Slice and serve hot.
Tips & Notes:
Egg yolk preference: For runny yolks, keep a close eye and pull the pizzas at 10 minutes.
Make it vegetarian: Skip meat and load up on veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or arugula.
Add protein: Scrambled eggs, tofu, or leftover grilled chicken work well too.
Use mini naan: Perfect for individual serving sizes or party-friendly breakfast bites.
Air fryer version: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7–9 minutes (best for crispiness).
Questions & Answers
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: You can pre-toast the naan and prep toppings in advance, but assemble and bake fresh for best results.
Q: Can I scramble the egg instead of cracking it whole?
A: Absolutely! Scrambled eggs cook faster and work great, especially for kids.
Q: Can I use gluten-free naan?
A: Yes—any flatbread-style base works, including gluten-free or cauliflower crusts.
Q: Can I add more than one egg per naan?
A: One egg per naan is ideal to avoid overflow, but if the naan is large, you can try two.
