Portabello Pizzettas

Print Recipe
Pizzettas don't always have to have a bread crust -- this one is built on a large mushroom.

Ingredients
1/2 of a   10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach
1-1/2  cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
1/2  cup coarsely chopped turkey pepperoni or pepperoni
1  teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4  teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
12   small portobello mushrooms (3 to 4 inches in diameter)
2  tablespoons margarine, melted



Directions

1. Thaw spinach and press out liquid; finely chop. In a mixing bowl combine spinach, cheese, pepperoni, basil, and pepper. Clean mushrooms; remove stems. Place open side up on a lightly greased baking sheet; brush with margarine. Spoon 2 tablespoons spinach mixture into each.
 
2. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 12 minutes or until heated through. (Or, place on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes.) If desired, garnish with fresh basil. Makes 12 appetizers.
