Lavash Pizza with Mushrooms and Cheese
Think you don't have time to make homemade pizza? Try this one from my television series, Gets Fresh. I used lavash bread as the crust and topped it with yummy mushrooms and cheeses. So easy!!
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 pound wild mushrooms,- chanterelles, porcini, cremini, morels, thinly sliced
2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pieces lavash, cut into 8 X 12-inch rectangle
3 ounces Montasio cheese, coarsely grated (can substitute Italian fontina)
3 ounces Italian gorgonzola, crumbled
¼ cup thinly sliced chives
Instructions
Preheat an oven to 400̊ F.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, thyme and sage and cook, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will give off their liquid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove them from the pan and cool.
Ten minutes before serving, place one sheet of the lavash on a baking sheet. Repeat with a second sheet of lavash. Bake the two pieces of lavash in the oven until the lavash is light golden. Remove from the oven and spread one-quarter of the mushrooms onto the top of each lavash to ½-inch in from the edge. Top each with one-quarter of the Montasio and one-quarter of the gorgonzola. Bake in the oven until the edges are light golden color, the lavash is crisp and the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle each with one-quarter of the chives.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients making 4 lavash pizzas total.
