A delicious and healthy Vegan Pesto & Portobello Flatbread that is so easy and quick to make. The flatbread is homemade too!
Remember my last recipe? That delicious, garlicky, chewy homemade flatbread I shared with you last week? It just got fancy. As I mentioned in my last post, I recently had a delicious Portobello flatbread at Marcus Lemonis’ restaurant. The mushroom flatbread recipe on the menu included cheese and sausage, which I asked the chef to omit, so mine was a two-ingredient dish, flatbread and shrooms. It was still delicious, but I knew I could make a veggie version that was spectacular, and I did.
After much experimenting, I found the perfect base to rest the Portobello mushrooms on. Pesto! The gorgeous green pesto makes the best partner for those meaty mushrooms. The creaminess and flavor compliments the umami taste of the Portobellos, and when you stack the crispy and chewy (yes, you get both), soft pesto, and tender mushrooms, you get a pleasant texture and flavorful combination that’s hard to beat.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PESTO & PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM FLATBREAD PIZZA
First you need to take about 15 minutes to make the vegan flatbread. It’s so easy, so don’t go out and spend a lot of money on packaged bread.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice and saute the mushrooms with a bit of olive oil and minced garlic.
Make your pesto. Choose from this one, this one, or this one.
Spread a layer of pesto on the flatbread, layer the mushrooms over the pesto, place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Eat until your heart’s content.
This easy and tasty flatbread with mushrooms and pesto is so easy to make, and it makes a great meal or appetizer. You can be sure that I’ll be making these for my next happy hour!
