Mushroom & Goat Cheese Grilled Flatbread

• 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1 whole Small Shallot, Sliced
• 1- 1/2 cup Baby Portobello Mushrooms Sliced
• 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, to taste
• 5 sprigs Fresh Thyme, Divided
• 1 pound Your Favorite Pizza Dough (store Bought Or Homemade)
• 1/2 cups Balsamic Vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/2 cups Crumbled Goat Cheese

1. 1.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
3. 2.
4. Add shallot and mushrooms into the butter and give the mixture a good stir.
5. 3.
6. Stir brown sugar, salt, pepper, and the leaves of 1 thyme sprig into the mushroom mixture.
7. Stir to combine and cook until mushrooms and shallots have caramelized, about 5 minutes.
8. Remove cooked mushroom mixture from heat and set aside.
9. 4.
10. Heat a cast iron grill pan on the stove over medium heat.
11. If you dont have a grill pan, you can use a real, outdoor grill (lucky you) or just bake the flatbread in the oven at 400 F like you would a regular pizza.
12. 5.
13. Roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
14. Depending on the size of your pan, you may have to make smaller flatbreads and cook in batches.
15. 6.
16. Press dough onto the hot grill pan.
17. I like to use tongs to press the corners down so that I dont burn my fingers.
18. Let dough cook for 2-3 minutes, until you can easily pick it up with tongs and dough has dark, charred grill marks.
19. 7.
20. While the dough cooks, pour balsamic vinegar into a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it reduces to a thick syrup, about 8 minutes.
21. It should be reduced to this syrup by the time the flatbread is done cooking.
22. 8.
23. When the first side of the dough has cooked, flip the dough so the uncooked side is facing the pan.
24. 9.
25. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the flatbread and quickly top with the mushroom mixture and crumbled goat cheese.
26. 10.
27. Cook until the goat cheese has softened and the bottom of the flatbread has nice, charred grill marks, another 3-4 minutes.
28. 11.
29. Remove pizza from grill pan and place on a cutting board.
30. Top with remaining thyme leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
31. Slice and serve immediately.
