Portobello mushroom caprese pizza

Tonight I was inspired by my husbands favorite side dish, caprese salad. I love how light it is, but it could not be a dinner by itself so I decided to add a little substance to it. A portobello mushroom!


What you will need:

  • 4 portobello mushroom caps
  • Fresh basil
  • 1 cup of fresh mozzarella
  • 1 tbs of olive oil
  • 3/4 cup of fire roasted pizza sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp
                                                    Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.Wash and de-stem your mushrooms. Make a aluminum foil elevated ring. You do this in order to prop up the mushroom so it does not get soggy while it is baking in the oven. Mushrooms have a lot of water in them, so you want to make sure that your dinner isn't floppy.





Step 2
Place the mushrooms on top of the aluminum elevated rings. 
Drizzle the olive oil and add the salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add the rest of the ingredients. First the pizza sauce. Then the mozzarella, cherry tomato, and last the basil. 




 Step 4
Place the mushrooms in the oven for 25-30 minutes. The mushrooms should be soft and the cheese should be melted completely. 




















The Result:
My husband loved it! He said it was probably the best thing that I had ever made for him. :D
