Ingredients
- 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza dough
- 2 cups assorted wild mushrooms, sliced (such as shiitake, chanterelle, or oyster)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare the Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Once the mushrooms are ready, distribute them evenly over the flatbread.
- Add Goat Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese generously over the mushrooms.
- Bake: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese has softened.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Slice and serve warm.
