HEALTHY PORTOBELLO PIZZA WITH MOZZARELLISSIMA CHEESE


Mozzarellissima Portobello Pizza by Sabrina Tutino.

Classic pizza gets a gourmet transformation with this recipe.  Swapping out traditional crust for a Portobello mushroom is an easy, fun and carb-free way to add variety to a traditional favourite. Try varying the sizes of mushrooms to create small appetizer-sized pizzas, or larger individual-sized pizzas.

*The recipe can also be used with cremini mushrooms (baby portobello's), as delightful appetizer for the holiday season

Makes: 4 pizzas
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 to 15 minutes

Ingredients:

4 Portobello mushrooms
2 tomatoes, diced
4 tbsp (60 mL) olive tapenade (or finely chopped olives)
1 handful spinach
salt and pepper, to taste
7 oz (200 g) Mozzarellissima, grated and divided

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Clean each mushroom with wet paper towel and cut off the stems.
3. In a small bowl, gently toss together diced tomatoes, tapenade and spinach.
4. Lightly sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then spoon tomato mixture into the
mushroom caps and top with grated Mozzarellissima.
5. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 15 minutes, or until mushrooms are cooked and cheese is
melted.
