Mushroom Ricotta Flatbread

This hands down has to be one of our favourite recipes of the summer! The combination of mushroom and ricotta makes for such a dreamy explosion of flavours that will be sure to turn your friends and family into mushroom lovers. We love mushrooms because they are so versatile in recipes and taste delicious but they are also incredibly nutrient-dense and are especially rich in B vitamins. If you aren’t the biggest fan of mushrooms, then we urge you to try out this recipe!
