{Nourish} Recipe Redux: Gorgonzola and Beet Flatbread

Beets, Honey and Gorgonzola are a heavenly combination that is only made better in the form of a flat bread.  I love lightening up a decadent yet flavorful cheese by cutting it with some non-fat Greek yogurt.  I also utilized the beet and the greens which adds extra flavor, nutrition and a pop of color. Beet, Gorgonzola and Honey Flatbread

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon herb oil (see recipe below)
• 2 pieces whole wheat naan bread (whole foods)

• Two Beets (one red and one yellow)–roasted, halved and sliced
• 1 ounce Gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 cup beet greens, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
2. Place naan on a pizza stone or baking sheet.  Drizzle with herb oil, salt and pepper.  Bake for 5 minutes to crisp.
3. Spread 1/2 of cheese mixture on each piece of naan.  Layer beet slices.  Top with beet greens tossed in a tsp of olive oil
4. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is lightly browned. Remove from heat. Drizzle Honey and Serve.

Herb Oil:  In a food processor combine 1 1/2 cups of oil with 1 cup of mixed fresh herbs such as rosemary, oregano,thyme and parsley.

*To Roast Beets:  Wrap in foil (yellow seperate to red to protect the red beet from “bleeding onto the yellow”) @400 for 1 hour or until tender.  Peel.
