Naan Pizza

I'm having a real wierdo day. I had a dermatologist appointment today so I didn't go to work. Instead I sat in an office waiting to get a biopsy on a mole on my face. Then when I finally get in there and am meeting with the doctor (who has botox ads every which way you turn) I find out I'm not getting a biopsy at all! He takes one look at my mole and says unequivically that it's no risk at all. And I've nothing to worry about. Which is good - really quite good. Not having cancer is always better than having cancer. But for the past 3 months I've been expecting that this mole would be removed for biopsy today..so it left me feeling a bit odd. But relieved none the less.

Anyhow, as I left I decided to stop at the Whole Foods near the derm's office. I'd never been in a Whole Foods before and was curious to check it out. It was sooooo busy in there..and for good reason too, this place is amazing. The bakery looked and smelled so delicious that I didn't dare go near it. But as I walked quickly through - I just happened to walk by the naan bread - and as I said before I've flipped though this booked about 100 times and this recipe has only 4 ingredients so I knew what they all were and I realized that I should make this recipe today. So I picked up the naan and headed to the cheese section for some fontina. There were so many kinds of cheese that I literally could not locate the fontina and had to get help! This is my kind of grocery store. Every row I turned down had the best of everything and the fizzy lemonades and what-not were so, so tempting. But I didn't have a lot of money to spend and my piece of cheese alone was $10. I managed to resist temptation and buy pretty much only what I needed. But, oh, the joys of Whole Foods.

When I got back home it was well past lunch so I made this right away. One thing that surprised me was that I wasn't to shred the cheese but rather just roughly chop it. This seemed odd to me and I was expecting it not to melt fully - but as you can see from the photo this turned out just fine.

This pizza is super-duper easy and pretty tasty. I think if you were making lunch for yourself and a friend splitting one of these pizzas and making a nice salad to go with it would be perfect. Then, of course, top it off with an "after-dinner" cappuccino or espresso. Your friend would thank you. This pizza is a perfect casual meal but has enough of a different flavour about it that it's not slouchy - just deliciously quaint.
