Mini pizzas in a mushroom cap!

I made these the other night and they were so good! They came to 141 calories per cap, although I would add a bit more sauce in the future.

Ingredients:
-portobello mushrooms
-2% mozzarella cheese
-pizza sauce
-toppings (I used artichokes, black olives, and turkey pepperoni. I did not care for the turkey pepperoni to be honest.)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. wash mushrooms and remove the stem and scrape out the black, stringy insides with a spoon (doesn't have to be perfect)
3. Place mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake on top rack for about 7 minutes. The thicker shrooms I had to cook a little bit longer so they would be slightly softer
4. Remove mushrooms from oven and dump out/remove the juice in the caps (I dabbed with a paper towel because they were hot)
5. Add a generous amount of sauce to each cap
6. Sprinkle on cheese to your liking
7. Add toppings
8. Put back in oven and switch to broil. I left them in for like 4 minutes and all the cheese was melty and it was perfect, but ovens seriously vary so 4 minutes may be too long for you.
9. Eat with a fork and knife (you could pick them up, but they are still a bit juicy!

Enjoy!

    Looks yummy. I usually put broccoli and cauliflower with boring star crumbles in my mushroom caps. It's awesome.

    Yum! With any sort of sauce? That sounds like something I'll have to try!

    These look delicious! I'm definitely going to try them. As a side note, pizza sauce is ridiculously overpriced. I just buy a can of tomato sauce and stir in some garlic and Italian seasoning. It costs about 50 cents.

    Those look delicious. I made something similar a while back based off of a recipe on the skinnytaste.com website, but I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. The artichokes look like a delicious addition too.

    @yayamom3 - I agree about pizza sauce. I never buy it. I just doctor up a can of tomato sauce. I always add a little sugar though, as pizza sauce tends to be a bit sweeter.

    Anyone cook these and reheat in a microwave at a later time? Would be interested to mix these into my meal prep this week for some new variety :smile:

    If you have calories to spare, using a spaghetti sauce with Italian sausage already in it would make this superb.

    Thank you all, these sound fantastic! Going to have to try them.
    Has anyone ever eaten them cold? I know it probably sounds gross, but I do not have access to oven or mov at work. I eat all of my meals cold after breakfast. Brown rice is the worst!
