Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

By Heather Wirtz September 20, 2016
Two of my favorite foods in one! These "pizza filled" mushrooms were a hit in my house with kiddos and adults! You can serve these as an appetizer or side dish along with dinner. And a bonus, they are a healthier version of pizza and are naturally gluten free!

Ingredients:
Large white mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed
Marinara sauce
Shredded cheese, Italian blend or pizza blend 
Fresh basil, chopped

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. Place mushroom caps on a parchment paper or foil lined sheet pan.
  3. Fill each mushroom cap with marinara sauce. 
  4. Place mushrooms in oven for about 15 minutes or until mushrooms begin to soften. Time will vary depending on size of mushroom caps. 
  5. Carefully remove from oven and top with shredded cheese. 
  6. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. 
  7. Once mushrooms are fully cooked, top with fresh basil. 
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
