Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper position. Lightly oil a baking sheet and place it in the oven while it heats for an extra-crispy crust.
2. Halve and peel the shallot, then slice lengthwise into thin strands. Trim the mushrooms and cut into ¼-inch-thick slices.
3. Heat a generous drizzle of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shallot and half of the Italian seasoning. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the flatbreads on the preheated baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with the Italian cheese blend and the remaining Italian seasoning. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with truffle oil to taste-start with a few drops and add more as desired.
6. In a medium bowl, toss the arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Cut the flatbreads into slices and serve with the salad on the side. Optionally, spread a little salad on top of the flatbreads.
