Instructions
Caramelized Onions:
  1. Slice onions into thin, even strips.
  2. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they start to become translucent and soft.
  3. Turn the heat down to low. Add cooking wine to deglaze the pan. Cook for at least 20 minutes or until onions become a deep caramel-brown. Stir every 5 minutes to encourage even browning.
Mushroom Mixture:
  1. To a saucepan, add water and bring to a simmer
  2. Add paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Allow to simmer for 1 minute.
  3. Add in sliced mushrooms and cook on medium heat until they become soft.
  4. Add Balsamic vinegar and cook for 1-2 minutes on medium heat.
  5. Drain the mushrooms and save the hot liquid.
Garlic White Sauce:
  1. To a blender, add the cottage cheese, garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Then, add 2-3 T of hot mushroom liquid from the previous step. Blend until completely smooth. Add more hot liquid, if needed, to make it smoother.
Assemble Flatbread:
  1. Lay the flatbread on a sheet pan. Spread the Garlic White Sauce all over the top.
  2. Add Mushroom Mixture on top of the sauce.
  3. Next, add a thin layer of Caramelized Onions over the mushrooms.
  4. Finally, top with fresh mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake or air fry at 400-degrees F for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Slice into 8 slices, top with chopped parsley and drizzle with Balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
  7. Notes: You can broil for 1 minute at the end of the baking time to make the cheese extra bubbly. Use any variety of mushrooms that you like.
