Mushroom and Pepper Pizza
Mushrooms and peppers make great stand in for breads because of their heartiness. I made three types of Pizzas - tuna melt, cottage cheese and cheese, and just shredded mozzarella cheese. I chose not to add sauce for personal taste reason, but for a more 'pizza' flavor it can be added. These would also make great apps or an entree if you prefer.
Equipment
- cookie sheet metal or stone
Ingredients
- 6 portabello mushrooms
- 3 assorted color peppers or a bag of mini peppers I prefer the taste of red and yellow, and they look pretty.
- 1/2 cup tuna salad
- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 1.5 cup low fat shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- spray or oil your cookie sheet
- cut peppers into four sections (discard center)
- wash mushrooms and let dry for a couple of minutes
- place mushrooms and peppers on the cookie sheet
- roast for 20 min - you want the mushroom soft but the peppers not too soft or they wont hold the cheese
- spoon your choice of topping - tuna, cottage cheese, mozzarella
- optional - you can swap the cheeses for another one or any topping you prefer or you can sprinkle in fresh herbs or garlic
- Place back in the oven for 15-20 min
- Enjoy
- These can be eaten fresh from the oven or you can refrigerate and reheat the next day
