I love stuffed mushrooms… any kind. Cream cheese, cheese & bacon, crab, cheeseburger stuffed or even a simple salsa… it doesn’t matter what you put in them, it’s always the appetizer I go for first! Of course these Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms top my list!
Mushrooms just have such a rich earthy flavor and stuffing them is easy to do. I like to wash my mushrooms and pull out the stem, I then use a tomato/strawberry huller to make the hole a little bigger (hello!!… more filling!). I don’t always use the stems but this recipe calls for chopping the stems and cooking them with a little garlic for some extra flavor! Naturally low carb and totally huge in flavor, this is one appetizer everyone agrees on!
