- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the flatbreads on a baking sheet to prepare for assembly.

Notes
- You can substitute naan bread with homemade or store-bought pizza crust for different textures.
- For extra smokiness, use smoked mozzarella or gouda cheese instead of regular mozzarella.
- This recipe can also be cooked on a grill over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes for a charred flavor.
