Introduction

This Swiss Mushroom and Herb Flatbread is an irresistible delight, featuring Swiss mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and creamy Alpine cheese grilled to crisp perfection on the Arteflame. The flat cooktop griddle allows the dough to develop a beautifully golden crust while keeping the mushrooms tender and the cheese melted to perfection.

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza dough
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 cup Swiss mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups Alpine cheese, shredded
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins and light the paper.
3. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop reaches the perfect grilling temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Brush the flatbread lightly with melted butter on both sides.
2. Slice the Swiss mushrooms evenly.
3. Chop the herbs and garlic finely.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms

1. Add 1 tbsp butter to the hot flat cooktop.
2. Place the sliced mushrooms onto the griddle near the center where it's hotter.
3. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
4. Stir occasionally until mushrooms are soft and golden brown.
5. Move them to a cooler section of the griddle to keep warm.

Step 4: Grill the Flatbread

1. Place the flatbread directly onto the griddle.
2. Grill for 2-3 minutes on one side until slightly crisp.
3. Flip the flatbread and immediately top with shredded Alpine cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh herbs.

Step 5: Melt and Serve

1. Cover loosely with a metal pizza dome for even melting (if available).
2. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the flatbread is golden brown.
3. Remove from the grill, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Tips

• Using butter instead of oil enhances the flavors.
• Grill near the center for a crispier crust.
• Move ingredients around the griddle to control cooking speed.

2. Spicy Swiss Flatbread: Toss in red pepper flakes and smoked paprika for heat.
3. Caramelized Onion Version: Sauté onions until golden and add them as a topping.
4. Garlic Butter Parmesan: Swap Alpine cheese for Parmesan and brush the flatbread with garlic butter.
