By á-3209

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
• 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
• 1 (10-ounce) Italian cheese-flavored thin pizza crust (such as Boboli)
• 2 ounces prosciutto, cut into thin strips
• 1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) shredded fontina cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add mushrooms and shallots to pan; sauté 7 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Add garlic and thyme; sauté 1 minute. Stir in vinegar; remove from heat.
Place crust on the bottom rack of oven. Bake at 450° for 4 minutes.
Place the crust on a baking sheet. Spread mushroom mixture evenly over crust; sprinkle evenly with prosciutto and fontina cheese. Bake at 450° for 6 minutes or until cheese melts.
Tips: For a crisp crust, bake the pizza crust on the lowest rack for a few minutes before adding the toppings. Presliced button mushrooms can substitute for the creminis.
