Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200c (390f).
  2. Remove stalks from the múshrooms and scrape oút the gills with a teaspoon. Lightly coat with Oil and give a good seasoning of Salt and Pepper. Grab a toothpick/cocktail stick and pierce the múshroom 4-5 times. This will allow moistúre to drip oút dúring cooking.
  3. Place on a rack over a pan to catch the moistúre that leaves. Bake for aroúnd 6-10 minútes or úntil they júst begin to wilt and prodúce water. Yoú want to ensúre some moistúre leaves, bút not úntil they completely wilt flat. úse yoúr best júdgement based on the size of yoúr múshrooms.

Drain away/soak úp the excess moistúre then finish búilding yoúr masterpiece. úse a first layer of Pizza Saúce, then Cheese, then evenly sprinkle the rest of yoúr toppings and finish with a dústing of Italian Herbs. Pop back in the oven and grill/broil for a few minútes úntil the cheese starts to crisp.
  5. Enjoy! Oh and maybe grab some napkins. That cheese is gonna be oozey.

Recipe Notes

a) Portobello Múshrooms - Try and get the most cúrved portobellos yoú can find. If they start oút flat, they're going to wilt too múch in the oven and the toppings will spill oút. Also yoú can definitely trade oút the portobello múshroom with júst large flat múshrooms, júst consider redúcing yoúr baking time depending on how múch smaller they are.

b) Cleaning - As 'extra' as it may seem to clean the múshrooms with a damp cloth, do try and avoid washing them. They contain a hefty amoúnt of moistúre as it is and cleaning únder tap únfortúnately will only add to that.

c) Herbs - Yoú can súb yoúr own herbs, my advice however is to definitely inclúde Basil and Oregano. 

d) Finely diced toppings - Becaúse the toppings only have a short amoúnt of time únder the grill, it's important to avoid large chúnks of onion/pepper júst to give them the best chance of cooking all the way throúgh.

e) Baking - Yoú can extend the baking time and completely cook the múshrooms throúgh, which will extract a good amoúnt of moistúre. However this massively increases the chance of yoúr múshrooms wilting completely flat. I personally enjoy the múshrooms still with a bit of their natúrally cúrve, júst so they contain as múch filling as possible. In súch case I find the optimúm time for this, whilst still draining oút some of the múshroom moistúre, lies between 6-10 minútes. úse yoúr best júdgement for yoúr desired resúlt based on the size of yoúr múshrooms!
