Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
Recipe video above. This is the sort of recipe that you can absolutely make your own with your favourite pizza toppings! TIP: avoid watery filling by cutting a small cross in the cap of the mushroom to let excess water drain out as it bakes. Serve as a light meal, or serve 2 as a main meal.

Ingredients
- 5 large mushrooms , 10cm/4" wide (portobello, flat mushrooms etc, Note 1)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2/3 cup Pizza Sauce (I use store bought)
- 100g/ 3.5 oz salami slices , chopped
- 1/4 red onion , finely chopped
- 1/3 cup black olive slices
- 1 cup (100g) mozzarella cheese , shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Carefully break or cut the stems off the mushrooms.
- Chop stems (will use as filling).
- Place mushrooms cap side up. Using a small, sharp, THIN knife, cut a small cross in the mushroom, taking great care not to split the mushroom (to drain excess water, Note 2)
- Brush the tops with oil, then quickly sprinkle on salt and pepper (be fast so it sticks!)
- Flip then lightly dab the inside with remaining oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Fill mushrooms with pizza sauce, sprinkle with chopped mushroom, onion, half salami and half olives.
- Bake 1 - Bake 10 minutes, remove from oven.
- Top with cheese, remaining salami and olives.
- Bake 2 - Bake further 10 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve immediately!

Notes
- Mushrooms - any large mushrooms fine here, as long as they're kind of shaped like a cup to hold in the fillings! Also make sure they are crack free.
- Avoid watery filling - cutting a cross in the base of the mushroom allows excess water in the mushroom to drain out while baking so the filling inside doesn't end up too watery (mushrooms contain a LOT of water!).
- Servings - depending on the size of the mushrooms, 1 very large one would be sufficient as a light meal with a side salad. I usually have 2 for a meal.
- Storage - keeps in the fridge for 3 days, reheat in microwave (oven takes too long, makes mushrooms soggy)
- Nutrition per mushroom.
