I’ve mentioned before that I like to “copy” recipes after I eat something I love at a restaurant and one of these is a truffle pizza.

Here is one of my creations after eating the wild mushroom and truffle pizza at Luna Park restaurant in Los Angeles. I think I’ve come very close to the original, and I’m extremely happy with the results and think you will be, too!

I would never have thought to combine brie and crème fraîche (especially with truffles) on a pizza, but they are so perfect together. Additionally, the fresh arugula thrown on after it comes out of the oven makes it a fresh and lively pizza. It’s perfect when cut into small pieces as an appetizer or made into individual pizzas for a meal.

Love arugula? Try this easy bresaola appetizer.

Try to take the few minutes it takes the day before to make the homemade pizza dough, versus buying it. Alternatively, you can also make an easier no knead pizza dough the night before. It will make a huge difference in the final result of this truffle pizza.

Ingredients

Begin by sautéing the sliced mushrooms in a little extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with a little salt. Next, mix the crème fraîche, truffle salt and truffles (if using from a jar/tin) together and set aside.

Shape the dough into two rectangular shaped pizzas, or how ever many you want to make, in whatever shape you like. Drizzle with a little of the olive oil, then top with the truffle crème fraīche, and slices of brie.

Now sprinkle the mushrooms on top.

Bake in a super hot oven. When ready, toss some arugula leaves over the pizza and shave some fresh truffle on top (if using) and serve immediately.

It is still very good at room temperature, but the arugula wilts on leftovers, so if you’re not serving it right away, leave the arugula (and fresh truffle) off until just before serving.

Enjoy this truffle pizza often!
