Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Herbs

2 shallots, halved and finely sliced
300g mushrooms, quartered
3 garlic cloves, sliced
small handful of parsley, finely chopped
6 sage leaves

Base and Sauce

2 flatbreads
4 tbsp béchamel sauce

Cheese and Oil

75g mozzarella, grated
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220C (200C fan) or gas mark 7 to prepare for roasting the vegetables and baking the flatbread pizzas.
Roast the shallots, mushrooms, and garlic: Toss the sliced shallots, quartered mushrooms, and sliced garlic cloves with olive oil and seasoning on a large baking tray. Spread evenly and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the vegetables are golden and cooked through.
Combine with parsley: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven, transfer them along with any accumulated juices into a bowl, and stir in the finely chopped parsley for freshness.
Prepare the flatbreads: Place the 2 flatbreads on a clean baking tray. Spread the béchamel sauce evenly over each flatbread as a creamy base.
Add toppings and bake: Scatter grated mozzarella over the béchamel, then evenly distribute the roasted mushroom mixture and tuck sage leaves on top. Return to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is golden, melted, and bubbling.
Serve: Cut the flatbread pizzas into wedges and serve hot alongside a green salad for a well-rounded meal.

Notes

You can substitute béchamel sauce with cream cheese or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
For a crispier base, toast the flatbreads lightly before adding toppings.
Add chili flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
Sage leaves can be swapped out for thyme or rosemary as an alternative herb garnish.
Use gluten-free flatbreads to make the recipe gluten-free.
