Mushroom Brie and Arugula Pizza (with Truffle Crème Fraîche)

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!

I’ve mentioned before that I like to “copy” recipes after I eat something I love at a restaurant.

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.

Ingredients

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.
