Ingredients
Fat-free whole wheat pita bread
1 (6 inch round)
Smart Balance light butter spread
2 teaspoons (divided)
Onion
3/4 cup (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise)
Wild mushrooms
1 cup (assorted (such as crimini, oyster, chanterelle, and stemmed shiitake) cut into bite-sized pieces)
Garlic cloves
2 (minced)
Shallot
1/4 tablespoon (minced)
Dry white wine
1/4 cup (none)
Fresh basil
1 tablespoon (chiffonade)
Sun-dried tomatoes
3 pieces (chopped)
Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
2 ounces (shredded)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone inside to heat for at least 30 minutes.
2
In a heavy skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of Smart Balance light butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, melt the remaining teaspoon of butter with 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped wild mushrooms, minced garlic, and shallots. Sauté for about 4 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften.
4
Add the dry white wine to the pan and simmer, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Move the mushroom mixture to one side of the pan, and on the other side, add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5
While the mushroom mixture cooks, lightly brush both sides of the whole wheat pita with olive oil infused with garlic. Sprinkle 1 ounce of reduced-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the pita.
6
Layer the caramelized onions over the cheese, followed by the sautéed mushroom mixture. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and basil, finishing with the remaining 1 ounce of reduced-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
7
Carefully place the assembled flatbread in the center of the preheated pizza stone and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the edges of the pita are crispy.
8
Once baked, use a large spatula to transfer the flatbread to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for one minute before slicing into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
