Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 8-12 ounces fresh mushrooms, cleaned and cut into 1/4" slices
- 1/4 cup Yahara Bay Whiskey
- 1 (12-inch) par-baked thin pizza crust
- Olive oil
- 2 ounces crumbled Roth Moody Blue® cheese
- 4 to 6 ounces roasted tomatoes in oil, drained and roughly chopped
- 2 ounces cubed or shredded Roth Butterkäse cheese
- Fresh thyme leaves
Method
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Over medium-high heat, sauté mushrooms in butter until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Add salt to taste. Add whiskey, and sauté until all liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Brush crust with a light layer of olive oil, then add an even layer of each cheese. Spread mushrooms and tomatoes evenly over the pizza. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 2 minutes, then cut into slices. Add stems (with leaves) of fresh thyme and serve immediately.
