About
Whole cremini mushroom caps are not only the perfect size and shape but also the perfect flavor complement for these pizza-themed snack stack. By slicing the mushroom caps in half like a sandwich, you can fill the two halves with slices of cheese and pepperoni for a yummy finger-food snack.
Ingredients
- 8 each brown mushrooms (italian or crimini mushrooms), raw, high in vitamin d
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon white wine vinegar by alessi
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper by simply organic
- ¼ teaspoon basil, dried
- 2 slice (from pre-sliced package) – each 3/4 ounce mozzarella cheese, whole milk
- 8 slice – each 0.1 ounce pepperoni
Instructions
- Remove the stems from medium-sized mushrooms that are equal in size. Slice each mushroom cap in half like a sandwich. Toss the sliced mushroom caps in a bowl with the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper, and basil. Wrap and set this bowl aside in your refrigerator to marinate at least 1 hour (but you may go longer for softer mushrooms).
- When done marinating, slice the mozzarella cheese into quarters and arrange single slices of pepperoni.
- Create the stacks by sandwiching a piece of cheese and pepperoni between 2 matching pieces of mushroom. Secure with a toothpick. For serving, make sure to drizzle any extra seasoned liquids from marinating over the stacks.
