Pizza Stuffed Mushroom

I was so happy when I found this recipe on Instagram @themodernnonna for pizza stuffed mushrooms.  I knew I wanted to make the mushrooms because the recipe looked easy to make.  You can eat this as an appetizer or as a main meal.  I've had the mushrooms both ways a few times already and they were a big hit.  The mushrooms would be perfect for serving during the holidays.  

I laid out the mushrooms on a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray.  I cut up the mushroom stems and laid them out on the side of the sheet pan. 

I added the sauce to each mushroom cap.

Next, I added the mozzarella cheese to the top of the mushrooms.

The mushroom pizza is all cooked and yummy looking.

TO MAKE THE MUSHROOM STEMS:

 

Sprinkle salt, pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil on top of the mushroom stems.  Cook as directed 18 - 20 minutes for the mushrooms.  This is a great way to use up the stems and they are delicious tasting.

PIZZA STUFFED MUSHROOM 

Recipe found at @themodernnonna on Instagram

INGREDIENTS:

• white stuffing mushrooms (or any)
• pizza sauce of choice
• mozzarella or any cheese
• dry oregano
• any oil spray or drizzle of oil
• parsley or basil for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to your high setting (450 F).  If your oven doesn't go that high, just choose the highest setting that you can but you may need to make them longer.  Oil up or spray an oven-safe pan or baking dish and wipe your mushrooms with a damp paper towel (do not rinse them underwater).  Once clean, gently remove the stems and save them for another recipe.  (See mushroom stem recipe above).  Add a teaspoon of your favorite pizza sauce in each one, a tablespoon of mozzarella or any cheese of choice, and some dry oregano is optional.  Bake at 450 F for 18 to 20 minutes and I let mine caramelize on BROIL for one minute but that's optional.  Garnish with basil or parsley.  

YUMMY PIZZA STUFFED MUSHROOMS!
