Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Whole Grain Naan Flatbreads
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil for brushing
  • 1 package (12 oz) Aidells Chicken & Apple Sausage
  • 2 cups Thinly Sliced Apples I used Fuji
  • 8 oz Goat Cheese
  • 2 cups Baby Arugula
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1.5 tsp Honey
  • 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying pan
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect char on your naan. You want the grill hot enough to create those lovely grill marks and crispy edges.
  2. Brush each naan flatbread on both sides with olive oil. This not only adds flavor but also helps the bread crisp up nicely when grilled. Make sure to cover them evenly for the best result.
  3. Place the naan on the grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them; you want to see some lovely char marks without burning. The naan should feel slightly crispy yet soft.
  4. While the naan is grilling, it’s time to cook the Aidells Chicken & Apple Sausage. Grill them for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they're heated through. The savory aroma will start to fill the air!
  5. Once cooked, remove the sausages from the grill and slice them into 1/2-inch pieces. This makes it easier to distribute them on the pizza and allows for even flavor in each bite.
  6. When the naan is ready, it’s time to top them. Start with goat cheese, using about 2 oz on each flatbread. The heat from the naan will begin to melt the cheese quickly, creating a delectable base.
  7. Next, layer on the apple slices evenly across the naan, followed by the sliced sausage. Feel free to be generous with the toppings; they’re the stars of the show!
  8. Grill the assembled pizzas for an additional 4 to 6 minutes. Watch closely; you want the cheese to melt beautifully without burning the naan.
  9. While the pizzas are grilling, prepare your honey vinaigrette. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. This dressing will finish your pizza with a delightful zing.
  10. Once done, remove the pizzas from the grill. Top them with fresh arugula and drizzle each with the honey vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then, serve and enjoy the flavors of your creation!
