Ingredients

  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps
  • 3 teaspoon olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 tablespoon pizza sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into ¼" cubes*
  • 6 medium cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • sliced fresh basil leaves and Italian seasoning for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450° F. Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil.
  • Remove the stem from the caps and carefully wash them. Thoroughly clean through the gills or remove them. Pat the caps dry. Rub each cap with the remaining 2 teaspoon olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place them gill side up on a baking sheet.
  • Divide the pizza sauce evenly amongst the portobello caps and spread along the gills. Sprinkle each one with ⅛ teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Divide the mozzarella cheese evenly amongst the portobello caps and spread evenly. Then top with the tomato slices.
  • Cook them in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Prepare a large plate covered with a few paper towels to soak up liquid after cooking. When the pizzas are done, carefully transfer them to the paper towel lined plate and let cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle fresh basil and a bit more Italian seasoning if desired on top of each pizza. Serve immediately.

Notes

*Shredded mozzarella also works well.
