Mushroom and Goat Cheese Pizza Recipe

Servings 1 pizza
Author Brandon Matzek

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound chanterelle mushrooms (other mushrooms besides white button would work as well)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 ball of pizza dough
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Parmesan cheese, for grating
  • Truffle oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  • Cut the base of the stems off the chanterelles. Wipe any gritty mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Tear any large mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, and leave any smaller ones whole.
  • Warm unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chanterelles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 5 minutes). During the last minute, stir in minced garlic. Season mushrooms to taste with kosher salt and pepper, then set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 500°F, and set an oven rack in the lowest possible position. Lightly coat a pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stretch pizza dough into a round large enough to fit the pizza pan. Very lightly drizzle the dough with olive oil, using your hands to evenly spread the oil around. Sprinkle dough with a small pinch of kosher salt. Top pizza evenly with grated mozzarella cheese, crumbled goat cheese, sautéed chanterelles and rosemary. Finish with a sprinkling of kosher salt and black pepper, then an even dusting of Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer pizza to the oven on the lowest rack and cook until the crust is golden brown (bottom and crust) and the cheese is nice and bubbly (9 - 11 minutes). Drizzle pizza very lightly with truffle oil before serving.
