She's absolutely delicious and she'll fill you right up without slowing you down. You can play around with your favorite cheeses, or throw on some shredded chicken if you need an extra protein boost. She's pretty versatile.
Naan is my favorite for this recipe, but whole wheat pitas would totally give these pizzas extra a nice little flavor / nutritional boost.
I love these pizzas with just a little mozzarella and some goat cheese, but they're phenomenal with white cheddar, gruyere and gouda, too. Not a fan of goat cheese? Feta works soo well with the grilled onion and artichoke hearts.

Artichoke Flatbread Pizza Instructions
- Heat up some olive oil and butter in a pan. Throw in sliced red onion and mushrooms and season it with a bit of salt and pepper. Sauté low and slow until the veggies are tender and starting to caramelize, 7-9 minutes.
- Preheat your broiler, then pop your flatbread in, broiling one side till it's got a nice bit of toastiness to it. We're talking 1-2 minutes tops – keep a sharp eye on it.
- Grab your broiled flatbread and start piling on the toppings. Spread out your sautéed onions and mushrooms first, then scatter over some chopped artichoke hearts.
- Layer on slices of fresh mozzarella and sprinkle on some crumbled goat cheese. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of crushed red pepper if you're in the mood for some heat.
- Slide your loaded-up flatbread back under the broiler, just until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. This should take around 2-3 minutes, but again, keep a close watch to prevent any charred catastrophes.
- Pull her out of the oven, top her off with some peppery arugula and slice her up! Enjoy!
When sautéing the onions and mushrooms, take your time to let them properly caramelize. This process brings out their natural sugars, giving them a rich, deep flavor that will really enhance your flatbread.
Substitutions
- Change up the cheese: If you're not a fan of mozzarella or goat cheese, you can swap either out for your favorite melting cheese. Gouda, white cheddar, gruyere, fontina, or Monterey Jack would all work well.
- Make it vegan: Substitute the butter for more olive oil, and use your favorite vegan cheeses in place of the mozzarella and goat cheese.
Variations
- You can substitute the naan with any kind of flatbread you prefer, or even a pre-made pizza crust for a time-saver.
- Not a fan of artichoke hearts? Try this recipe with sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers instead.
- If you're looking to make this dairy-free, substitute the butter for more olive oil and use dairy-free cheeses.
