Stacking blueberries, salty feta, and sweet honey-cooked onions on naan gives you a fun, sweet-and-salty pie. I remember the first time I whipped this up for friends, most people were suspicious about blueberries on flatbread. One bite and now it's what I get asked for every time friends pop over.
I came up with this after being buried in blueberries all summer. Wanted something savory—not a muffin again—so I just put ’em on bread and everything clicked. Now my family begs for it!
Irresistible Ingredients
- Fresh blueberries: Bake ’em ’til they’re juicy and sweet
- Feta cheese: Gives you that salty kick and balances the berries
- Ricotta cheese: Melts down creamy and soft as the base
- Arugula: Adds a peppery bite right at the end
- Honey: Turns onions golden and sweet
- Red onion: Just slice and cook to get all that savory flavor
- Red pepper flakes: Toss on a pinch if you want a little spice
- Kosher salt: Brings out every other flavor
- Naan flatbreads: Crisp on the outside, a little chewy inside—perfect for loading up with toppings
Simple Steps to Make It
- Bake away:
- Slide the pizzas into your preheated 400°F oven. Give 'em about 10 minutes until the naan's brown on the edges, cheese is melty, and those berries look ready to pop. Scatter arugula over the hot bread just before you eat for that fresh finish.
- Start the oven:
- Crank up your oven to 400°F. Line a tray with parchment and lay your naan out. Mist or brush each with a little water so they won’t dry out as you top them.
- Mash the cheese:
- Mix up your feta and ricotta, mashing them together until there are almost no lumps. You want it creamy for easy spreading.
- Build them:
- Smear the cheese mix all over the naan, edge to edge. Top with a pile of those sticky, honey-sweet onions, then toss on your blueberries. Make sure they don’t all crowd in the middle—spread 'em around.
- Cook the onion:
- Heat up a splash of olive oil in a skillet, keep the heat medium-low. Chuck in sliced red onion, sprinkle salt, and drop on red pepper if you like. Let them go about 3–5 minutes until soft and see-through. Drizzle honey, stir, and keep cooking slowly until they've gone sweet, sticky, and deep gold. Pull off heat.

If you don’t take the time to slowly cook the onions, you’ll miss out. Once I forgot them, and the whole thing felt pretty boring. Give the onions some love—they’re what makes this amazing.
Easy Make-Ahead Tips
Your onions can be cooked up to three days early—just cool and stash them in a sealed container in the fridge. Actually, this makes them taste even richer because the flavors blend more. You can mix your cheeses the night before, too. Day of? Put it all together and slide into the oven. Couldn’t be easier.
Inventive Twists
You can change this up a lot. No blueberries? Use blackberries or fresh strawberries in summer. Want it more on the savory side? Toss crispy bacon or thin slices of prosciutto on after it's baked. Try blue cheese for some of the feta if you’re feeling bold. Every swap keeps it fun but still sweet and salty in the best way.
Tasty Ways to Serve
Chop this into little squares for a party snack, or hand out a warm naan to each person for super easy dinners with a quick arugula salad (just squeeze lemon and a little olive oil). If you’re having a crowd, set up a make-your-own flatbread bar so everyone can pick their own toppings. Goes awesome with chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a glass of light rosé, too.

Honestly, this dish proves trying weird ideas in the kitchen turns up the best eats sometimes. Hope you love every bite!

Give goat cheese, mascarpone, or even cream cheese a shot. They blend smoothly with ricotta and feta, creating new textures and flavors.
