Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 large flatbread or pizza crust (12-inch)
  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in balsamic vinegar and cook until reduced and mushrooms are glazed. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place your flatbread or pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the surface. Arrange fresh spinach leaves evenly across the crust. Top with the balsamic mushrooms, red onion slices, and crumbled goat cheese.
  3. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings and finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano. This creates the perfect balance for your goat cheese pizza while ensuring everything melts together beautifully.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. For that authentic pizza bread crispiness, you can place it directly on the oven rack for the last 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Your balsamic mushroom masterpiece is ready to serve!

Notes

Choose a quality flatbread pizza base, don't overcrowd mushrooms while cooking to ensure proper browning, crumble goat cheese evenly for consistent flavor, use a pizza stone for extra crispiness if available, prepare toppings ahead for easy assembly during gatherings.
