Three-Cheese Garlic Flatbread

Three-Cheese Garlic Flatbread is one of those recipes that feels both comforting and impressive, yet comes together effortlessly. First, warm naan creates the perfect base—soft inside, lightly crisped outside. Then, a rich garlic butter spreads across the surface, soaking into every bite. Finally, a blend of mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan melts into a bubbly, golden layer that’s impossible to resist.

Flatbreads have been enjoyed for centuries across many cultures, prized for their simplicity and versatility. Over time, they evolved into quick, oven-baked favorites perfect for modern kitchens. Because naan already has great structure, it works beautifully for fast flatbread recipes like this one.

Moreover, this version balances richness with fresh herbs, keeping it flavorful without feeling heavy. Whether served as an appetizer, side dish, or easy dinner, it fits seamlessly into any menu. Best of all, it delivers bakery-style results using everyday ingredients, making it ideal for busy weeknights or casual entertaining.

Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 naan flatbread
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded provolone cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp dried basil
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat and prepare:
First, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the naan flatbread on top in a single layer.

2. Prepare the garlic butter:
Next, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and black pepper until fully combined.

3. Assemble the flatbread:
Then, evenly brush the garlic butter mixture over the naan, making sure to reach the edges. After that, sprinkle mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan evenly across the surface.

4. Bake until bubbly:
Now, bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, lightly bubbling, and just beginning to turn golden in spots.

5. Finish and slice:
Finally, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, slice cleanly, and serve immediately while warm.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use a cheese blend: Combining mozzarella for stretch, provolone for depth, and Parmesan for sharpness creates a richer, more balanced flavor profile.
• Watch the bake closely: Since naan cooks quickly, keep an eye on the flatbread during the final minutes to avoid over-browning.
• Slice after resting briefly: Letting the flatbread rest for one minute before slicing helps keep the cheese set and the cuts clean.
