A re-purposed portobello! It becomes the delicious, healthy "crust" for your pizza! The toppings are limitless, use your imagination and come up with a family favorite! In this recipe, I'm keeping it simple and using sausage, onion, and garlic, stirred together with herbed pizza sauce and topped with mozzarella, then just bake until hot, cheesy and bubbly! Totally scrumptious!

Recipe type: Pizza
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
- 4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 tsp of olive oil for mushrooms
- 1 Tbs of olive oil for sauteeing
- ½ of a medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ lb of plain lite pork sausage or turkey sausage
- 1 cup of pizza sauce
- 1 tsp of kosher salt
- ½ tsp of black pepper
- 2 Tbs of parmesan cheese
- ½ cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese, or as much as you like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and place them on a baking sheet.
- Rub the olive oil on both sides and bake for 10 minutes, hollow side up. Then blot any moisture with paper towels.
- While the mushrooms are baking, heat 1 Tbs of olive oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat and saute the onion, sausage, and garlic until the pink is cooked out of the sausage, then add in the pizza sauce, salt & pepper and parmesan, stir to combine.
- Fill the mushrooms with the mixture and sprinkle on as much mozzarella as you like.
- Return to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. All done, serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Most pizza sauce is spiced with basil and oregano, just give it a taste and add more if you like and to make this vegan just omit the sausage and of course, use any veggies you like, they should be sauteed first for a few minutes.
