Mushroom Pizzas


I have been told how nasty this picture looks, but these scrumptious mini pizzas are so stinkin' tasty! (Not to mention a healthy alternative to regular pizzas.)

What you need:
2 large portabella mushroom caps
1/2 cup pizza sauce (I'm not fancy--I use the stuff in a jar.)
6 pieces turkey pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
(Feel free to substitute with your favorite pizza toppings)

What to do
1. If your mushrooms have a stem, cut it out.
2. Use a damp cloth to clean out the inside of the mushroom--especially between the little gill things. **Remember to not soak your mushrooms as they will absorb and hold on to excess moisture!
3. Bake the mushrooms at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes. This helps to rid them of excess moisture.
4. Work carefully with the hot mushrooms as you top each with 1/4 cup of pizza sauce, 3 pepperoni slices, a few black olive slices, and 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. 
5. Broil them for about 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melty. 
6. I recommend eating these bad boys daintily with a knife and fork because they are so HOT straight from the oven!
