Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 loaf soft French or Italian bread, halved lengthwise
• 3/4 cup ricotta
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan
• Red pepper flakes, to taste
• 3 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes; set aside.

2. Combine 1/4 cup olive oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Put the bread cut-side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with the garlic oil; season with salt. Broil until lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes. Spoon the ricotta on the bread, then top with the mushrooms and mozzarella. Broil until browned and bubbling, 2-5 minutes; transfer to a cutting board.

3. Cut the bread into pieces. Sprinkle with the parsley, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Drizzle the tomatoes with the vinegar and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pizza.
