Mushroom brie and arugula pizza with truffle crème fraîche is one of those creations that you will make again and again. It’s that delicious!

Well, here is one of my creations after eating the wild mushroom pizza at Luna Park restaurant in Los Angeles. I think I’ve come very close to the original, and I am extremely happy with the results. If I don’t have wild mushrooms, I usually use whatever kind of mushrooms I have available at the time, and the flavor is still fabulous.
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, lively pizza. It’s perfect when cut into small pieces as an appetizer or even made into individual pizzas (as above) for a meal.

Try to take the few minutes it takes the day before to make the homemade pizza dough, versus buying it. It will make a huge difference in the final flavor of this mushroom brie and arugula pizza.
Mushroom Brie and Arugula Pizza
(with Truffle Crème Fraîche)
Inspired by Luna Park, LA. serves 6 as an appetizer
FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW
Ingredients
- one recipe pizza dough
- extra virgin olive oil (plain or truffle flavored)
- 8 oz or more wild mushrooms or fresh, sliced white or crimini sliced mushrooms
- 6 oz brie
- 6 oz crème fraîche
- 1/4 tsp truffle salt
- 1 to 2 oz truffles, chopped finely (I used truffles in a glass jar, from Italy)
- fresh arugula (rocket)
Directions to Make Mushroom Brie and Arugula Pizza
Preheat oven 500ºF
Begin by sautéeing the sliced mushrooms in a little extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with a little salt. Next, mix the crème fraīche, truffle salt and chopped truffles 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.
Toss some arugula leaves over the pizza and serve hot. 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 off until just before serving.
