Portabello Pizzas Recipe

Portabello Pizzas Recipe

An easy way to incorporate mushrooms into family meals! Portabello mushrooms are high in potassium, riboflavin, and selenium – a cancer fighter! I was shocked, but my 2.5 year old devoured hers whole – thank you mozz cheese! Use a damp paper towel to wipe off mushroom caps. Don’t rinse or get too wet – you’ll end up with gummy mushrooms.

This feeds about six people, and takes about 30 minutes to prepare.

Here’s what you need:

• 12 portabello mushroom caps
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 onion, sliced thinly
• 4 tomatoes, sliced
• 4 cloves pressed garlic
• 5 cups Mozzarella cheese, part skim milk, shredded
• Basil to sprinkle on pizzas
• Salt and pepper to taste

Here’s what you do:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Take a spoon and scoop out all the gills from the inside of the mushroom.
• Liberally brush olive oil on tops and bottoms of mushrooms, and place mushrooms, top side facing down, on baking sheet.
• Cook in oven for about 7 minutes, and set aside.
• Meanwhile mushrooms are in oven, in a skillet, saute tomatoes, onions, and garlic together for about 5 minutes.
• Spread tomato mixture on top of mushroom caps and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then basil.
• Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
