Portobello Mushroom Pizzas

I've had this recipe for a while and I kept buying the ingredients for it and then forgetting to make it. No joke I think I bought the portobello caps twice before and then forgot about them, so they went bad and no mushroom pizzas for me. :( Until today that is. I woke up early and had some extra time on my hands in the morning, so I decided to make these quickly so I could have them for lunch. Good idea or best idea? Best idea, obviously.

So this morning I made them and it actually only took 10 minutes (probably less), start to finish. I put them in a tupperware container and brought them to work. Got some weird looks at first but they turned out amazing, even after reheating in the microwave, so I was okay with it. (Don't worry, nobody is actually going to judge you for eating this.) It looks a little weird but it's a healthy way to eat pizza, which is no easy feat. Trust me, after utterly failing to make a cauliflower crust pizza once, I can assure you that cooking a healthy pizza is damn near impossible. Fortunately, this is the exception.

Give it a shot. If you're not a mushroom person you probably won't love this because it definitely tastes like a portobello. But if you don't mind mushrooms, try this. I mean YOLO, right? (Just kidding... kind of)

Portobello Mushroom Pizzas

Ingredients:

• 2-4 Portobello mushroom caps
• Pizza sauce (I used the "heart healthy" one)
• Shredded cheese of your choice (I used reduced fat 4 cheese Italian)
• Pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni if you really want to be healthy)
• Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:

1. Preheat your broiler
2. Take the portobellos and scrape out the "gills" and cut off the protruding part of the stem so that the underside of the mushroom is flat 
3. Fill the mushroom cap with the pizza sauce (I probably only used 1/4 cup per cap)
4. Cover with cheese and top with pepperoni
5. Place under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted, but keep an eye on it, mine almost burned after about 3 minutes
6. Sprinkle with parmesan if desired and serve!

You're welcome, world.
