Adapted from the South Beach Diet cookbook, because theirs were boring and weird. Presumably, one could customize the toppings extensively. I did make one batch with sun-dried tomatoes, however, and I don't recommend that at all - too sweet. Ingredients:
4 large portabella mushroom caps, cleaned, stems removed |
olive oil |
4 teaspoons pesto sauce (prepared) |
2 tablespoons cream cheese |
8 -12 slices turkey pepperoni |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
garlic powder |
hot smoked paprika |
Directions:
1. Coat caps lightly in olive oil. 2. Dust with paprika and garlic powder to taste. 3. Bake gills-down at 400F for about 15 minutes. 4. Pull 'em out of the oven and flip 'em over. 5. Add a teaspoon of pesto to each cap and spread it around. 6. Top that with a bit of cream cheese, pepperoni, and a bit of cheddar cheese on top. 7. Pop 'em back in the oven until the cheddar gets golden-brown. |
