2. Pour olive oil over them.
3. Add crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, basil and salt.
> Let stand for 5 minutes.

4. Place Naan in toaster oven long enough to crisp.
5. Place on cutting board.
6. Spread goat cheese all over surface (micro waving goat cheese for 5 seconds will make it easier to spread).
7. Arrange tomato slices on top of goat cheese.
8. Spread fig mixture all over tomatoes.
9. Drizzle Traditional Balsamic Vinegar artfully over the entire “pizza.”
10. Slice with pizza cutter or sharp knife into pie shaped pieces.
