Then we cooked those at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, until they were tender. They generated their own liquid from somewhere in their mushroom-ness...which I lovingly titled "mushroom pee." Then we stuffed the mushrooms with pizza sauce, mozzarella, black olives, and pepperonis.
I stuck that back in there for about 4 minutes or so, just so the cheese could melt. Finished product picture!
They sure do look uber-delicious! But how do they rate??? Jeremy gives it a 6. He thinks that they would be much better as appetizers for a gathering, rather than as a full meal. Makes perfect sense to me!! I, of course, gave it about a 2. (*Disclaimer* I hate mushrooms, but I did man up, and try one!! It had a great taste, but I could not get over the texture of smushy mushroom...the vision of "mushroom pee" probably didn't help either.)
So...final verdict! Yummy taste...too much mushroom for a full dinner. Try it as an appetizer instead!!
**I should link back to where I found this recipe...Pinterest, of course!
Yay for blogging!
ReplyDeletei think if you want this to be actual dinner then use a big portabello instead of babies.
mushroom pee? grosstown.
Mushroom pee was definite grosstown!! I think the bigger portabellos would have been a better bet, but oh well!! At least we tried something new! :)
DeleteMcKenna would probably love these, as long as you left off the black olives. I don't like mushrooms unless deep fried & served with horseradish sauce.
