Yield: makes 4 flatbreads, serving 8
- 2 Tablespoons
unsalted butter
- ½ cup
plus 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium
Spanish onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon
sugar
- 2 pounds
assorted wild mushrooms (Portobello, chanterelle, porcini), stemmed

crumbled Cabrales blue cheese
Preheat
a gas or charcoal grill to medium or use a side burner (or the stove).
Melt the butter with 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil in a large sauté
pan. Add the onions and sugar and cook until soft and caramelized, 15
to 20 minutes. Heat ¼ cup of olive oil in a large sauté pan over high
heat and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown and soft. Season with
salt and pepper.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium high. Brush the rounds of
dough with the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil and grill until crusty and
golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn over and grill another
4 minutes. Remove from the grill and place on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Spread each bread with the mozzarella, onions, and mushrooms, and sprinkle
with the crumbled blue cheese.
Close the grill cover and cook for 3 minutes. Place the breads on a
large platter and cut into quarters.
