Ingredients
  

16 large cremini or portobello mushrooms, stems removed

1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pepperoni slices, diced (or your favorite pizza toppings)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped bell peppers (any color)

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a hot cooking environment for your mushrooms.

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Take a damp cloth and gently wipe each mushroom cap to clean them. Carefully remove the stems and use a small spoon to hollow out the inside of the caps just a bit, creating space for the delicious filling.

      Create the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped bell peppers, chopped red onion, dried oregano, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly blended.

        Stuff the Mushrooms: With a spoon, fill each hollowed mushroom cap with the cheese and pepperoni mixture. Make sure to pack the filling generously to maximize flavor. Arrange the filled mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

          Add Pizza Sauce: Once the mushrooms are stuffed, drizzle a bit of pizza sauce on top of each mushroom to enhance the pizza flavor.

            Bake to Perfection: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the assembled mushrooms. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the stuffed mushrooms to cool for a couple of minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving. These mini pizza stuffed mushrooms are best enjoyed warm, either as a tasty appetizer or a delightful snack!
