I have been making these pizzas for many years. Long before I went low-carb.

They also make great hors d’oeuvres just substitute smaller mushrooms (1 – 1-1/2 inch) and make 2 or 3 per guest (depending on what else you’re serving.)

Ingredients:

  • 2 large portabello mushrooms (5”)
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz parmesan cheese
  • 3 Tbsp tomato paste
  • Oregano, basil, fennel, black pepper,
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • Olive Oil
  • Toppings: onion, bell pepper, sausage, pepperoni, etc.

Instructions:

  1. De-vein mushrooms
  2. Sauté mushrooms in olive oil in about 2 minutes per side
  3. Mix tomato paste, garlic and spices to create a tasty pizza sauce.
  4. Spread pizza sauce evenly in hollow of mushroom
  5. Cover with mozzarella
  6. Add toppings you desire
  7. Top with Parmesan
  8. Bake for 8 -10 minutes at 325 degrees
