Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 mini naan
- Olive oil (enough for frying the naan)
Toppings
- 1 slice smoked salmon (Ducktrap Smoked Salmon recommended, amount to taste)
- 1 tbsp crème fraîche (Vermont Creamery recommended)
- 1 tsp caviar
- Chives (fresh, to garnish)
- Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan and naan: Preheat a pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Pour in plenty of olive oil and rub it thoroughly over the naan to coat it well.
- Cook the naan: Press the naan down firmly in the pan, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides.
- Cool the naan: Transfer the naan to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely to prevent sogginess and ensure the crème fraîche won’t melt when applied.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread 1 tablespoon of crème fraîche evenly over the cooled naan. Layer the smoked salmon slice on top, then garnish with chopped chives and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the caviar: Finally, spoon 1 teaspoon of caviar over the pizza as a luxurious finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a cooling rack to keep the naan crispy and avoid sogginess.
- Ensure the naan has fully cooled before spreading crème fraîche to maintain texture.
- Adjust the amount of smoked salmon and caviar according to personal preference or serving size.
- Freshly ground black pepper enhances the flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- For best flavor, choose high-quality ingredients like Ducktrap smoked salmon and Vermont Creamery crème fraîche.
