Mushroom Pizza Bites

 

We love having parties at our house.  The thing I don't love is all of the unhealthy food at a party and the way I feel afterward if I indulge.  It is always nice to have healthy appetizers and snacks at a party to enjoy while also enjoying hanging out with friends and family.

Because these pizza bites use mushrooms as the 'crust' they are Gluten-free!  The fun part about these is that everyone can choose their own toppings and your kids can help assemble their own mini pizza.

 

First step - remove the inside of your mushrooms with a spoon.  Be carful not to crack the cap.  Then after you have rinsed the mushrooms,  (I wiped mine down with a damp cloth) bake at 400 for 7 minutes.  If they get a little juicy inside, pour the juice off.

Next prepare your toppings.  Our topping choices:

  • Pineapple
  • Red and Green Bell Pepper
  • Zucchini
  • Olives
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Canadian Bacon
  • Mini Pepperoni
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Pizza Sauce

Next assemble your pizzas! We put a spoonful of sauce in the bottom of each mushroom, then cheese and toppings.  Bake in your oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
