Balsamic Mushroom & Goat Cheese Pizza with Spinach

I had a night off from the restaurant, so I asked my wife what she wanted to do for ‘date night.’

“I want to make pizza,” she replied ahead of a long pause. “Mushroom pizza. With goat cheese.”

My brain started buzzing with a recipe taking shape. “Tomato sauce or olive oil and garlic?” I asked. Garlic, we decided. “How about some spinach?” I offered. Yes to that.

“Balsamic drizzle when it comes out of the oven,” she concluded.
“I was thinking the exact same thing,” I said, always caught off guard by how perfect we are for each other.

So, in a collaborative effort, we present to you balsamic mushroom and goat cheese pizza with spinach for your date night enjoyment. Or whatever night enjoyment.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

•     1/2 pound pizza dough
•     1 tablespoon butter
•     8 ounces mixed mushrooms halved if large
•     kosher salt and pepper
•     2 tablespoons olive oil
•     3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
•     2 cloves garlic minced or grated
•     1/2 inch of a delicata squash seeded and thinly sliced (about 1/8 thick)
•     1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
•     1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
•     4 ounces truffled or regular goat cheese
•     truffle oil for serving (optional)
•     flaky sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and garlic, cook 30 second until fragrant. Add the balsamic and continue cooking 1 minute more or until the balsamic glazes the mushrooms.
3. On a lightly floured surface, push/roll the dough out until it is very thin. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
4. Layer the squash rounds in and even layer. Add the mushrooms. Sprinkle over the cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme and salt. Drizzle lightly with truffle oil, if using.
5. Transfer to the oven and bake 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden, the cheese has melted. Remove the pizza from the oven. Slice and serve!
