There’s never a wrong time to enjoy pizza for casual entertaining and potluck parties. These Supreme Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms take all of the flavors we love about a loaded-up pizza without the bun. You’re family and friends are sure to love them.
Supreme Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
When I was putting together these supreme pizza stuffed mushrooms I wanted to try and come up with a combination of ingredients that didn’t use any type of breadcrumb to bind the filling together. I really can’t imagine what wouldn’t taste great stuffed inside of a mushroom, but, this filling is super easy, and it tastes just like pizza without the crust. Make-ahead snacks make for low stress entertaining, and carnivores as well as your low carb and keto guests, will be equally thrilled with flavor of these “faux” pizzas.
Tips for Making Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
- You could vary the filling ingredients according to your taste, just like preparing a conventional pizza. If you aren’t a fan of black olives, leave them out, or replace with green olives.
- Stuffed mushrooms can also be made and assembled the night before, covered and chilled, then baked just before serving.
- Mushrooms are like sponges. When cleaning them, never submerge them in water or they’ll absorb too much liquid. Use a brush to clean the exterior.
- Extra large mushroom caps were used in this recipe. If you use smaller mushrooms, the yield will be greater.
- Mushrooms will release liquid while baking. Carefully remove baked mushrooms to a paper towel to adsorb liquid before plating.
- A dreamy mushroom side dish option you may like are these Creamy Garlic Mushrooms from Diethood.
