Portabella Mushroom Pizza Recipe

So it has been a while and not because I have forgotten about the blog, nor lazy and just didn't feel like writing, but rather I'm still trying to get use to my Blackberry and trying to get the pics that I took with my phone on to my comp. Mission acomplished! So now I have I no excuse for not posting, except that I have been so exhausted for the past few days that I have come home and passed out after work. x_x So on with the post....

So the other day I was in the grocery store and they were having a sale on portabella mushrooms... so bought two and was originally planning to make a grilled portabella sandwich, but I was feeling adventurous (that plus balsamic vinegar is expensive...) and decided to find a new recipe. In my quest came across a Portabella Mushroom Pizza recipe and had to try it. I did make some modifications since the original called for mozzarella, but I decided to use Swiss, and I added my own spices to my sauce to make my own flavor. Before I give the recipe I think that I should mention that I am a by taste estimator when I cook. In other words I add seasoning to taste and estimate that amount that I need, so the following measurements are estimates of what I used. But here is the recipe:

INGREDENTS:

(Total Time: 25-30 mins)

2 Whole          Portabella Mushrooms

½ tea               Olive Oil
1 C                  Tomato Sauce
½ tea               Oregano
½ tea               Italian Seasoning
1 C                  Swiss Cheese

Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. (Mind blowing right?)

Step 2: Remove the stems and gently clean the mushrooms. Brush lightly with oil and place on a cookie sheet.

Step 3: Place the mushrooms in the oven for about 10 mins.

Step 4: In a bowl add sauce and seasoning to taste. Feel to add any seasoning you heat desires. If you are not a veggie like me, you can also use a meat sauce or add some meant into the sauce. Also if you have a block of cheese, now would be a good time to shred it.

Step 5: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and spoon out the sauce onto the caps. Add the cheese on the top and any other toppings you may want on your pizza.

Step 6: Place the pizzas back in the oven for about 10 more mins or until the cheese starts to turn brown.

Step 7: Eat it! J
