Ingredients
- 2 whole Portabella mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 0.75 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon.
Step 3
Lightly brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to soften and release some moisture. Remove from oven and gently pat away any excess liquid with a paper towel.
Step 5
Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the gill side of each mushroom cap.
Step 6
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add 4 pepperoni slices to each mushroom cap or customize with your favorite toppings.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each pizza for added flavor.
Step 8
Return the stuffed mushroom caps to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Personal Portabella Pizza!
