Mushroom and Asparagus Flatbread
Get some Flatbreads or Pita Bread. Make a Mushroom Duxelle Cream cheese, and spread on the flatbread. (recipe to follow). Sprinkle on some chopped fresh asparagus and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in a 450°F oven for about 7-8 minutes till cheese is melted and flatbread is crispy. Cut the flatbread and top the pieces with some watercress, a drizzle of olive oil, and some fresh grated lemon zest.
Chef’s Note: If you don’t have any watercress, arugula is a good substitute.
It still has that peppery bite that watercress has.
