Mushroom and Gruyère Flatbread
Is it just me or the month of October just flying by? I mean, I know I have this big life event coming up soon, but this month is already half over! I had a little freak out this past weekend over the fact that I am now in the final month of this pregnancy. This coupled with the fact that Baby Girl has been going a little crazy in there this weekend and I’ve watched my entire stomach move and contort in all sorts of positions. Don’t get me wrong, it’s the best feeling in the world, but it’s also a little jarring and a reminder that she is out of room in there because she is almost ready to come out! Ahhh!! I need carbs and Halloween candy to deal with this.
My friends at STAR Fine Foods recently sent me some of their Cara Mia Marinated Mushrooms to try out in a recipe. I don’t really know why, but my mind immediately went to flatbread and also to Gruyère cheese. Carbs and cheese are always a good pairing and the marinated mushrooms went so well with this flatbread! I loved the seasoning on them as it added extra flavor that plain mushrooms wouldn’t give me. The Gruyère cheese is just magical here because it gets all melty and buttery and oh so dreamy and wonderful. Oh, and I also added caramelized onions because well, why the heck not?!
While I could easily eat this as a meal with a salad, it also works well as an appetizer for parties. You can slice it up however you want to serve more people if desired. The flavors in this flatbread are actually perfect for this time of year and upcoming holiday parties!

October is most definitely flying by! This flatbread looks and sounds awesome! Love mushrooms and gruyere together!
One more month! I could barely hold the baby (both kids) during my last month, and I remember I wanted to deliver as soon as possible…but I’d tell you, enjoy the last pregnancy! I missed having a baby inside me after I delivered. Hang in there, everything will be alright. We can’t wait to see your baby girl!! I love mushrooms and Gruyere cheese. These flatbreads look awesome!
Whoa, time flies so fast! I can still recall your post announcing the baby. Seems like yesterday! Flatbread, mushroom and Gruyere cheese – love it!

Wahoo!! Almost to the finish line!! While I’ve haven’t been pregnant myself just yet, my best friend just had her first baby, and I saw the stomach move in all sorts of crazy ways! It’s just so unbelievable!
Loving these flatbreads! I just made a pizza with gruyere cheese the other day, and I forgot how OBSESSED I am with it, it’s just so nutty and delicious!
I think the last month creeps by the slowest, don’t worry ;) I don’t even like mushrooms but this looks crazy good! I hope you enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy!!!
When do the mushrooms, rosemary and thyme go on?
I thought the cheese would go on the dough not the baking sheet!
Thanks for pointing out these typos, Tom. It’s been corrected.
