Portobello Mushroom and Swiss Chard Flatbread with green salad with pears
Topped with melted cheese, these little flatbreads resemble pizza when they come out of the oven, but are super speedy to make. A simple garlicky olive oil stands in for sauce as the base and is topped with sauteed chard and mushrooms.
Smarts: Gruyere cheese has a uniquely rich and tangy flavor that adds a lot to these simple flatbreads. It can be a bit pricey, so feel free to use mozzarella or Swiss cheese if you prefer.

Pretty good. Even the kids ate it. Used baby kale instead of chard and sliced brown mushrooms for simplicity.
This was such a surprise, I was expecting moans and groans but it was a big hit. I used garlic and coriander naans as the base, cheddar cheese and sweetheart cabbage instead of chard. The salad was also well received, will definitely make again.
I used a broccoli crust from trader joes and it was so delish!
Great! Always feel like white pizza is a cheat, but this was super. Used whole grain lavash-bread, toasted in oven a bit before we loaded up the mushrooms. Lots of garlic in the oil. Like a super fresh cracker crumb pizza. Used mozzarella cheese.
we really liked this! and it was fast and easy too. we made the salad with cucumbers instead of lettuce (my husband can't eat it) and it was super delicious.
