Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 large flatbread crusts or pre-made pizza crusts
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in balsamic vinegar and cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place flatbread crusts on a baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the sautéed mushrooms evenly across the pizza.
  3. Scatter fresh spinach leaves over the mushrooms, then crumble goat cheese generously over the top. Sprinkle with dried oregano and a final dusting of black pepper.
  4. Bake the pizzas for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Slice into wedges or rectangles for easy serving at your pizza party.

Notes

For crispier crust, pre-bake the flatbread for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings. Use a pizza stone for restaurant-quality crust texture. Customize with additional toppings like roasted red peppers or caramelized onions. For extra flavor, drizzle with additional balsamic reduction after baking.
