Quick and easy! Make this as an appetizer or an entree.
I absolutely love mushrooms! And… mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil too 🙂 Whipping these up is a breeze and is sure to hit the spot.
Lately I’ve been trying to find low carb recipe options. This is something I started making, and this meal definitely hits the spot. I couldn’t stop eating them! What I love is that these can be made as an appetizer or for an entire meal. In this specific recipe, it calls for three portobello mushrooms, which can be an appetizer for two or a meal for one. So depending on your goal for the recipe, either double or triple it if needed.
Now for the tomatoes: feel free to use a big slice of tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes. Either one would be fine. I like using the cherry tomatoes, but thats just my preference. If all you have on hand is a large tomato, don’t let that stop you!
I promise you these will hit the spot. Not only are they delicious, but they are also a healthier option! Serve these up and enjoy!
