Ingredients for asparagus mushroom burrata pizza
- Pizza dough – Ready-to-go pizza dough can be found in any grocery store. You can even ask your favorite local pizzeria and buy fresh pizza dough from them.
- Burrata – Burrata cheese is an Italian cow’s milk cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is a firm cheese, while the inside is creamy and soft.
- Asparagus – Asparagus is a great springtime veggie, and is delicious when roasted. Its flavors get concentrated in this pizza recipe and it gets slightly charred from the heat.
- Portobello mushrooms – These mushrooms pack a super meaty flavor, and are great on top of this pizza!
- Sun-dried tomatoes – Since there’s not a typical “sauce” on this asparagus mushroom burrata pizza, the sun-dried tomatoes call back to a similar tomato flavor without overshadowing the mushrooms and asparagus.
- Microgreens – Microgreens are added last on this pizza so that they maintain their freshness.
Addition of alternative proteins
This asparagus mushroom burrata pizza uses portobello mushrooms as a meaty substitute.
If you’re looking for a bit more protein you could use pre-cooked grilled chicken breast instead!
You can either grill your own or buy pre-cooked from the store.
If you’re looking to stay in the fungi family, another great meaty mushroom is the Maitake mushroom.
It has an earthy, peppery flavor, with a mighty meaty texture.
Maitake mushrooms are found in your local grocery store’s produce section with the other mushrooms.
Using different greens as a topping
If you can’t find micro-greens, no worries! You can top this pizza with peppery arugula, or sweet baby spinach.
