Ingredients

• 12 to 15 large mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
• 2 mini pepperoni links, sliced
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 fresh basil leaf, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.
If you're using a cast iron skillet spray it with cooking spray. Arrange the mushrooms in the skillet.
Fill each mushroom with about 1 to 2 tsp of pizza sauce. Top each mushroom with 1 to 2 tbsp of mozzarella cheese, then with 2 or 3 pepperoni slices.
Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until cheese melts and gets a bit golden on top.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with basil.
