Fresh naan breads brushed with olive oil, a splash of garlic, and vibrant spinach blend perfectly with tangy feta and melted mozzarella. The hint of salt and pepper makes every bite uniquely inviting and wonderfully refreshing.

I’ve been experimenting with flavors lately and this Spinach Feta Flatbread Pizza is one of my favorite quick fixes. I start by brushing 2 naan breads with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and tossing in 2 minced garlic cloves to infuse a rich aroma right from the get go.

Then I layer on about 4 cups of roughly chopped fresh spinach, which brings a vibrant, slightly earthy taste to the mix. I love sprinkling on 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese along with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella to deliver that perfect salty and creamy balance.

A pinch of sea salt and a crack of freshly ground black pepper round things out nicely. This recipe, reminiscent of some of my go-to Mediterranean Diet Recipes dinners and healthy pizza twists, came together in just 15 minutes.

I gotta say, it’s a fun and tasty way to mix up your usual pizza night. Give it a try and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Why I Like this Recipe

I really love this recipe for a bunch of reasons. First, I like how fast and simple it is to make – it only took me about 15 minutes from start to finish so it’s perfect for busy weeknights. Second, the flavor combo is spot on. I mean, the mix of fresh spinach with that tangy feta and the gooey mozzarella really makes my taste buds happy every time I make it. Third, I love the texture; the naan gets crispy at the edges while still being soft in the middle which gives it just the right bite. Lastly, it’s a total family-friendly treat. Everyone in my house loves dialing up a batch and sharing it so it’s become a fun little tradition for us.

FAQ

Can I use another type of bread instead of naan?

Yep, you can try pita or even a tortilla if you're lookin for a different twist.

Do I need to pre-cook the garlic before adding it?

Not really, just heat it in the olive oil with the flatbread to let that flavor infuse, but watch out so it doesn't burn.

How can I prevent the flatbread from getting soggy?

Make sure you don't pile on too much spinach and let the bread crisp up in the oven for a short time.

Can I swap spinach for another leafy green?

Sure thing, you can use kale or arugula, just bear in mind the taste might change a bit.

How long should I bake this flatbread?

Bake it at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes, just keep an eye on it so the cheese doesn't burn.

Spinach Feta Flatbread Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of naan bread, try using pita bread or even a tortilla for a quick fix
If you’re out of olive oil, melted butter or avocado oil works just fine
No fresh spinach? Baby kale or arugula can easily take its place
Don’t have feta cheese handy? Crumbled goat cheese makes a good alternative
If you’re short on garlic cloves, you can use about 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder instead

Pro Tips

1. Try warming the naan in the oven for a minute before adding the toppings so it gets a bit crispy without being too hard.
2. If you like a little extra flavor, brush some of the garlic olive oil mixture on the partially baked naan edges too, they sometimes taste way better.
3. Watch the oven closely at the end of baking ‘cause cheese can go from perfectly melted to burnt real quick, so it might help to set a timer.
4. Experiment with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or even a little lemon zest over the spinach before you add the cheese if you’re feeling adventurous.
