Portobello Mushroom Pizza

I made this up on a whim and, lo and behold, it actually ended up being pretty tasty. These portobello mushroom pizzas are a nice, easy, and healthy alternative to using a regular pizza crust. They took about 35 minutes to make, including prep. Recipe serves 2.



 What you need:

  • 4 portobello mushroom caps (washed clean, with stem and black gills removed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 roma tomatoes, sliced and halved
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
What you do:
  • Drizzle some of the olive oil onto the portobello mushroom caps, then broil them for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mince the garlic, dice the onion, and slice and halve the tomatoes.
  • After you take the mushrooms out of the broiler, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the mushrooms. Add the sauce, garlic, and basil. Sprinkle the cheese over the caps and finish them off with the red onion, tomatoes, and spinach.

  • Place them in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese has melted and toppings begin to crisp to your liking.
  • Remove, let cool, and enjoy!!
