Ingredients

1 Tbs Olive Oil virgin, unrefined
1 1/2 C Cremini Mushrooms stems removed, sliced, 86g
2 Pieces Flatbread I like Naan for this recipe
1/4-1/3 C Your favorite Pesto 50g-72g
1 C Shaved Asparagus loosely packed with leftover stem sliced thin, stem tips in tact, 100g
1/4 C Kalamata Olives quartered, 28g
1/8 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/8 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 C Mozzarella Cheese 52g
1/2 C Feta Cheese 35g
1 1/2 C Spinach Arugula Mix loosely packed (I use Earthbound Farm) 38g
2 Hand fulls of Sliced Cherry Tomatoes
Balsamic Vinegar for Drizzling

Instructions

Set a oven rack on the highest position in the oven. Slide in a sheet pan, pizza stone or cast iron skillet and peheat oven to 550F (287C).
Heat oil in saute pan until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and stir only occasionally for five minutes. We want the mushrooms to sear as this will bring out their flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
To build the pizza, place each piece of Naan on a sheet of parchment paper. Dividing the ingredients between the two pizzas, spread the pesto over the flatbread, almost to the edges. Layer the asparagus, mushrooms, kalamata olives, a pinch of red pepper and oregano, mozzarella and a few pieces of feta (save some feta for the top later).
Remove the pan from the oven and carefully transfer the pizza to the pan. If using a cast iron skillet, you'll need to bake one at a time. Bake on the top rack for five minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pizza to a cutting board. Place a generous hand full of salad mix on top of the pizza, add a bit of feta, a few sliced tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Slice with a pizza wheel and serve immediately.
Serve with sea salt and red pepper flakes.
