Method
How to Make Balsamic Mushroom Goat Cheese Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) if you're using a store-bought crust, or follow the directions on the packaging for homemade pizza.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the sliced mushrooms for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they're beautifully browned and tender.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Incorporate the fresh spinach into the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
- Roll out the pizza crust on a floured surface, if necessary, and transfer it to a baking sheet or hot pizza stone.
- Spread the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
- Top generously with crumbled goat cheese and shredded mozzarella.
- Bake the pizza for about 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the cooked pizza right after you take it out of the oven.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
