Mushrooms are so beefy and delicious. This is a great quick supper for meat-free-ers and meat eaters alike because it is hearty. To round out the meal, serve with simple green salad dressed with Dijon dressing or, sliced apples or pears.
Ingredients
- 8 large portobello mushroom caps
- 1 pound button mushrooms
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, eyeball it
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves, 4 sprigs stripped and chopped
- 1 loaf crusty French bread, 24 inches
- 3 cups shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
Directions
Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Slice the mushrooms. Heat a deep skillet with extra-virgin olive oil and butter over medium heat. When butter melts into oil, add bay, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are dark and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and add wine. Deglaze the pan with wine, eyeball the amount. Shake the pan and add the Worcestershire and thyme. Turn off heat.
Preheat broiler and split the loaf lengthwise and across. Hollow out a bit of the soft insides. Toast the bread lightly under broiler. Fill bread with mushrooms evenly then top with cheese liberally. Melt cheese until it browns and bubbles then remove the pizzas from the oven and turn off the broiler.

I made this and it was still so delicious two days later! The mushrooms were sauted nicely. I did not have worchestchire sauce on hand so I did not use it, but it was still good. I put extra toppings that I like on pizza such as bell peppers, onions, and cilantro. This is a great pizza to follow and to put other additions of your favorite items on top.
