This mushroom and truffle cheese flatbread is the umami flavor bomb your tastebuds are looking for.
When you are out at an amazing restaurant and you have one of their flatbread or pizzas with mushrooms, garlic, cheese and truffles and you wonder how on earth do they get it to taste so incredibly good! Well, I have for you today a gourmet flatbread that will rival any restaurant’s pizza. This Three Mushroom Pecorino Truffled Flatbread is out of this world with wonderful flavor.
Not too much from the truffle oil. Not too many toppings. Plain and simple yet there is nothing plain and simple about this flatbread!! Instead of a traditional tomato sauce we went for a truffled cheese sauce and wow, what an amazing flavor. It is not hard to make but does take a little more time than cracking a jar open but let me tell you it is so worth it.
Three different mushrooms adorn this pizza, dried black trumpet that I rehydrated, cremini and white button. This gives the flatbread different flavors and textures, a wonderful combination but you choose the mushrooms you would like to add.
This would make a stunning appetizer also to serve friends. A recipe that you will get rave reviews from. If the truffle oil is the right amount it just adds the perfect umami taste of earthy mushroom to the flatbread.
