I was looking for something interesting to eat that was still low carb and I came across these Portabella Pizza Bites. The recipe was made all low fat, so they had to add an egg to help the low fat cheese melt. I took all that out and I’m going to make it FULL fat and low carb.

Ingredients:

• 6 mini Portabella mushrooms (or 2 large Portabella mushroom caps)
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce (Get the kind without any added sugar. Tomatoes have enough carbs on their own.)
• 1/2 oz. pepperoni (approx. 6 slices)
• 2 oz. black olives
• 3 oz. Mozzarella cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Clean mushrooms and scoop out the insides and stem with a spoon.Place on baking pan and bake for 7 minutes.
• While mushrooms are baking, grate Mozzarella.
• Remove mushrooms from oven, and turn the broiler to High.
• On the mushrooms layer pizza sauce, cheese mixture, olives, and pepperoni slices. Return pan to oven and broil on High for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted and started to brown.

I can’t wait to try this on my own!
