Description

Umami-rich flatbreads topped with a creamy truffle cheese sauce and sautéed mushrooms. A quick and elegant weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4-10 flatbreads
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) diced white onion
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups (473 ml) half and half cream (10%)
  • 2 cups (473 ml) pecorino cheese (grated)
  • 1 cups (237 ml) Parmesan (grated)
  • 1/2 tsp truffle oil
  • 0 lbs (14 gms) dried black Trumpet mushrooms (soaked 20 min. in hot water and drained)
  • 5 large white button mushroom (thinly sliced)
  • 5 cremini mushrooms (thinly sliced)
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (204°C).
  2. For the cheese sauce: Sauté the onions and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the cream and simmer until reduced by half. Add the cheese and truffle oil and stir until melted. Set aside, covered.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms in butter until soft. Season with salt, pepper, and an additional ½ teaspoon of truffle oil.
  4. For each flatbread, spread with the cheese sauce. Divide the mushrooms on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Top with chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese instead of pre-grated.
  • If you don’t have black trumpet mushrooms, substitute with other earthy mushrooms like shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
  • To prevent soggy flatbreads, ensure the cheese sauce is not too thin before adding it to the flatbreads.
