Afterward, sprinkle the warm pie with fresh crumbled goat cheese and thyme. Be sure to avoid these four common mistakes when cooking mushrooms.
Prosciutto, Parm & Arugula
Keep your cool with these toppings, none of which require time in the oven. Bake up your crust, sauce and cheese, then place prosciutto, baby arugula and shaved Parmesan over top.
