I top the flatbread with garlic olive oil, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and my favorite Arla Dofino Fontina cheese. Arla’s Fontina is a Danish Style Fontina which is aged less, so it becomes semi-soft and is much milder than Italian Fontina. The mild, creamy, and buttery cheese is SO good when it’s melted on top of the flatbread.

Ingredients
  

For the flatbread:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 large red onion thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 6 oz Arla Dofino® Fontina cheese shredded
  • 2 store bought flatbreads or Naan breads
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the crispy sage leaves:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl or ramekin, combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with the minced garlic. Stir and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the other tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place the flatbreads on a large baking sheet. Brush with the garlic olive oil. Top with shredded cheese, mushrooms, and onions. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 12 minutes.
  • While the flatbreads are baking, make the crispy sage leaves. Heat about ¼ cup of olive oil in small skillet. When hot, carefully drop a couple of sage leaves in the hot oil. Cook for 5-10 seconds and remove from the pan with tongs. Place on a paper towel. Continue frying the sage leaves in batches. They will crisp up quickly, so make sure you watch them closely.
  • Place the crispy sage leaves on top of the flatbreads. Cut into pieces and serve warm.

  1. I was curious if your son ate this! My kids are pretty adventurous, I’d bet they’d eat this. It’s honestly one of the most delicious things I’ve seen on the yet in a while. I think I want to throw some red peppers on top? But you’re the expert!!! I’m really not much of a cook. Yet =)

  2. This flatbread looks beautiful. It combines my two loves: mushrooms and cheese. I think it would be awesome for dinner, not just as an appetizer.

  3. I love how simple-yet-fancy this looks! And anything with sautéed mushrooms and cheese sounds awesome to me!

  4. Hi, Maria — Just wondering, have you seen that cheese in stores here in the SLC area? Is it hard to find? Sounds yummy!!

  5. I just made this for lunch and it was soooo tasty.  My husband loved it.   The crispy sage was such a good idea.  It will be a great appetizer to serve to guests.

  6. Any idea if I could assemble this is advance? A couple hours before a party 🙂

    Thanks, can’t wait to try this

    1. It should be fine to assemble in advance. I wouldn’t put it in the oven until you are ready to serve. It is best when the cheese is still warm and melted. Enjoy!

  7. BTW – You can save a step by cooking/crisping the sage leaves on the pizza while it cooks. Just wipe the top side of the sage leaves in a dish of olive oil before placing on the pizza. The olive oil keeps them from burning and they crisp up perfectly. I also slightly salt them, the salt sticks well to the olive oil.
