We loved the clever combination of goat cheese and walnuts on this pizza. By mixing the goat cheese with the chopped walnuts, I found it easier to get small pieces, which helped me to spread the goat cheese around. The recipe resulted in a generous amount of mushrooms, and the flavor that came from the thyme which is sprinkled on the crust added a lovely note.
The modest dressing on the arugula helped the pizza overall, but the consensus at my house was that a balsamic reduction would have been even better.

Very nice combination of flavours and textures baked on this pizza crust.
The toppings start with a base layer of sautéed mushrooms. Once the crust is partially baked, the goat cheese and walnuts are added and the baking is completed. The final layer is a dressed arugula salad. Next time, I’ll use more strongly flavoured mushrooms as the white cultivated variety got lost among the stronger flavours of the other ingredients.
The experience was very much like eating a salad on a pizza crust…..a little messy for finger food, so best served with knife and fork.
