Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
Add the almond flour, egg, salt, and garlic powder to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, knead it lightly with wet hands.
Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt and sauté until soft and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Remove the lightly baked crust from the oven and spread the Parmesan cheese evenly over it.
Top with the sautéed mushrooms and return the pizza to the oven. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle the truffle oil over the pizza and top with fresh arugula.
Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper before slicing and serving.
