Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
- 12 cremini mushrooms, sliced in half
- 2 portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 10 cloves roasted garlic, pureed
- 1 pound fontina cheese, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons white truffle oil
Directions
Preheat grill or grill pan. Brush the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the mushrooms until golden brown and cooked through, remove from grill and coarsely chop. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 8 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread some of the roasted garlic puree on each. Divide the cheese among the tortillas, then the mushrooms and thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stack to make 4 (2 layer) tortillas and cover with remaining tortilla, brush the tops with olive oil. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake or until the tortillas are lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drizzle with white truffle oil.

I made this for a "gourmet" appetizer party, and it was very well-recived. But in terms of execution and flavor, I'd make some changes.
It is hard to slice Fontina very thinly, so I left out some of the thicker slices. Had I used the entire pound, Itwould have been too cheesy. Next time, I think I'll shred the cheese and use about 1/2 - 3/4 lb. total.
The mushroom mixture was delicious. I salted what was typically to taste, but found that the flavor of the fresh thyme was overpowering. I'd cut back to 2 Tbs. fresh thyme, and use about 1 tsp. of kosher salt total.
I LOVE truffles, but I may try drizzling over the mushrooms before topping with the tortilla and baking. Drizzling over the tops of the tortillas after brushing with olive oil made the tops too greasy for me, and the truffle essence was not powerful enough.
Finally, the 10 garlic cloves did not go far enough. I'd roast a few more cloves so you don't have to use so sparingly.
