1 teaspoon dried oregano
5 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded
⅔ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons hot honey or balsamic glaze (for garnish)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat
Add shallots and cook until soft and golden, about 4–5 minutes
Add ground sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes
Place naan breads on a baking sheet
Spread pumpkin puree evenly across each naan
Sprinkle with dried oregano and season lightly with salt and pepper
Top with shredded Fontina cheese
Spoon sausage and shallot mixture evenly over the cheese
Dollop with ricotta cheese
Rub sage leaves with remaining olive oil and scatter them over the pizzas
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until naan is golden and edges are crispy

Notes
You can make this vegetarian by using plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms
Substitute Fontina with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different cheese profile
Ricotta can be replaced with cottage cheese for added protein
Great served with a simple fall salad or roasted veggies on the side
For extra crispiness, toast naan slightly before adding toppings
