Ingredients

  • 8 oz crimini (aka baby portobello mushrooms)
  • 1 TBSP avocado oil (or your favorite healthy oil)
  • 1 shallot (approx. 1/4 cup chopped)
  • 2 oz Havarti or Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 oz Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 large or 4 mini flatbreads
  • 2-4 TBSP pesto
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh spinach

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Slice mushrooms, chop shallots, and grate your cheeses.
  3. Bring a large pan or skillet to high heat (I set mine to an 8/10) so the mushrooms have enough room. Once hot, add 1 TBSP of oil and your mushrooms in a single layer if possible. (It's okay if some overlap) Allow them to sear for 2 minutes untouched until golden on the bottom, then sauté for an additional 2 minutes or until browned and tender. Reduce heat to medium, move mushrooms to the side. Add a little drizzle of  oil to the empty side of the skillet and add your shallots. Sauté briefly until crispy and browned. Transfer mixture to a bowl/plate.
  4. Spread pesto onto your flatbreads and top with some of the cheese mixture (save half for topping). Next add your mushroom-shallot mixture, remaining cheese, and chopped spinach.
  5. Place on a lined or greased baking sheet and place on the center rack oven. Bake for 5-8 minutes for mini naan or approx. 8-12 for large flatbread. Mine were little and ready in about 6 minutes!
  6. Dive in while it's hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • No shallots? No problem! You can absolutely use minced onion or garlic (or a little of both!) in place of the shallots. The flavor profiles are similar and all rock in this recipe. Just make sure you choose at least one of them.
  • Arugula and spinach are totally interchangeable here based on preference/availability.
  • Craving a bit of savory sweetness? A little drizzle of balsamic glaze on top is glorious!
