Tuesday's Tasting - Trader Joe's Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Flatbread

I've told this story before, life gets in the way and my writing suffers. While away this time I did some more traveling in Europe and had the incredible opportunity to eat at a very special restaurant. A restaurant so special that I have to keep you in the dark for now, but please come back tomorrow to read about my awesome dining experience.

Now that I have your attention, let me tell you about a relatively new Trader Joe's freezer case product, the Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Flatbread with Mozzarella Cheese. I have made two of these over the last few weeks because they are that good. If you know and love the aroma and flavor of black truffles, you too will love this flatbread pizza. Keep reading to learn more, or just go to Trader Joe's and buy some of these right away. Come back and finish reading while your oven pre-heats.

I have to admit I was suprised when I first saw this in the case; I thought, truffle flatbread, at Trader Joe's, really? Well after 8 minutes in a 425 degree pre-heated oven I wanted to personally thank the buyer who found this gem for the Trader, I don't care how he or she did it, I'm just glad they did. When I opened the oven to remove the flatbread I was overcome with that amazing truffle aroma that so many of us cherish and love. The crust was crispy and chewy at the same time providing just the right amount of bite and a modest amount of mozzarella melted nicely over the mushrooms, truffles, and truffle sauce. My first bite had my taste buds dancing with joy, and my second bite had me craving more and more. This delicious, perfectly seasoned, truffle flatbread is a winner and is $4.69 for one box.Go buy some, now.
