Why You’ll Love Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
These bite-sized Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect little snack or appetizer, and great for 🏈 game day. They have all those 🍕 pizza flavors everyone loves, but no carbs and totally gluten-free! They are little flavor bombs with a soft interior and gooey 🧀 cheesy topping. I’ve kept the toppings basic here, but really the options are endless. You could add pepperoni, finely chopped olives, chili flakes and more.
How to Prepare Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
🔥 Preheat your oven to 450F (230C).
🫒 Oil up or spray a baking sheet, or add parchment paper.
🔪 Now, wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel (do not rinse them under water) and then use a knife to chop off the stems.
🍅 Next, add a teaspoon of your favorite pizza sauce on top of each one, along with a tablespoon of mozzarella, and a sprinkle of dry oregano (optional).
⏲️ Place them on the baking sheet and then bake at 450F (230C) for 18 minutes
🌿 Garnish with basil or parsley and enjoy.
Nonna’s Tip 🔥
For a golden, bubbly top, I caramelized the mushrooms on broil for one minute at the end.
