Garlic Mushroom Flatbread Pizzas Recipe

Introduction

These garlic mushroom flatbread pizzas offer a quick and delicious way to enjoy a comforting meal with fresh, earthy flavors. Loaded with sautéed mushrooms, aromatic garlic, and melted mozzarella on a crisp flatbread, they make a perfect lunch or light dinner.

There are two small round pizzas on a metal baking tray placed on a white marbled surface. Both pizzas have one layer of light golden crust that looks soft and slightly thick, topped evenly with a creamy white cheese layer. The cheese is melted with some light brown spots, showing it is baked. On top of the cheese, there is a layer of mixed mushrooms in various dark brown and tan shades, with some green herbs scattered around. The pizza at the top is cut into six slices while the one at the bottom is whole. On the left side of the tray, there is a pizza cutter with a round silver blade and a wooden handle, some crumbs stuck to the blade. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 shallots, halved and finely sliced
  • 300g mushrooms, quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Small handful of parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 flatbreads
  • 4 tbsp béchamel sauce
  • 75g mozzarella, grated
  • 6 sage leaves
  • Green salad, to serve

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/gas mark 7). Toss the shallots, mushrooms, and garlic with olive oil and some seasoning on a large baking tray. Spread them out evenly.
  2. Step 2: Roast the vegetables in the oven for 12–15 minutes until golden all over. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bowl along with any juices. Mix in the chopped parsley.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the flatbreads on the baking tray. Spread each flatbread evenly with the béchamel sauce, then scatter over the grated mozzarella, the roasted mushroom mixture, and top with sage leaves.
  4. Step 4: Return to the oven and cook for 6–8 minutes until the cheese has melted and the flatbreads are golden. Serve warm, cut into wedges, alongside a green salad.

Tips & Variations

  • Use a mix of wild mushrooms for more depth of flavor.
  • Swap béchamel for a tomato base to add a tangier twist.
  • Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a slight kick.
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary can be used instead of sage for a different herb aroma.

Storage

Store leftover flatbread pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 5–7 minutes to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
