Flat Bread Duo

Another wonderful dish to entertain a casual party with is flat bread. I always liked baking this pizza-like dish because the toppings are infinite and cooking time (not counting prep work) only takes about 20 minutes, making it a perfect snack to put in the oven right before your guests arrive. It is delicious and goes perfectly with a glass of white wine for a casual movie get-together at home.  
Flat Bread Duo
Ingredients:
·      1 package of pizza dough
·      1 can tomato sauce
·      ½ large yellow onion
·      ½ cup of bell mushrooms
·      1 5 oz. can solid tuna in pure olive oil (“Cento Tonno” is my favorite)
·      3 large eggs
·      1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Start up by heating the oven to 400 degrees. Cook the eggs for 5 minutes after the water reaches boiling point. Let the eggs cool, then peel and cut half oh them into circles and the other half into small pieces. Chop the onion and cook in a medium pan until soft. In a bowl combine onions, small pieces of egg and tuna into a uniform mixture and set aside. Cook bell mushrooms in a saucepan until soft (10 minutes), let them cool, cut into circles and squeeze the excess moisture. On the pre-floured cutting board, roll the dough out into 2 long ovals.  Generously brush one oval with tomato sauce and leave the other one clean. On the oval with tomato sauce put eggs, mushrooms and top with mozzarella cheese. On the second oval, lay out the tuna mixture and top with cheese as well. Bake for 20 minutes to completely melt the cheese and for the crust to form. Serve on a large wooden cutting board for a rustic country feel!

Just ate a bag of stale pretzels and washed it down with muddled room temperature yogurt. I would very much enjoy a piece of your funky russian tuna, egg, onion and mushroom pizza. seriously. I'm starving. I'll send you the address.

Aww you poor thing...what happened to all the gourmet cooking I've witnessed in the good old NY days? ....and yes, the room temperature yogurt does not sound too enticing! : (

Good cooking skills remain. Alas, it was a late night in the office...and short of eating a handful of pan seared erasers with roasted pencil shavings (think truffles) and just a shpritz of antibacterial hand sanitizer (for zest of course), this was the best alternative.

From this comment alone, I can still see that you are a virtuoso chef! ; )
