I seem to always have a workout or food obsession. This meal was no different.
Portobello pizzas turned out better than I could have wanted. Jacob is being very open minded about veggies and wants to learn to enjoy them more. I think if you go into something without certain expectations or preconceived notions, it will end up better and more positive.
So since he wants to learn to love veggies, and I already love em to pieces, this veggie filled dinner was created.
Seriously, we had to many veggies here!
- Portobello mushrooms
- Spinach
- Red + green onions
- Romaine lettuce
- Cucumber
- Sweet potato
- Russet potato
They made me so happy and my tummy was pleased as well. This was almost a vegetarian meal, but with a bit of Italian sausage thrown in for the yummy flavors.
I think of portobellos as the meat of vegetables. They’re more hearty than other veggies. If you are looking for a meal to win your non-veggie loving friends over with, give this one a try. It’s filling and super delicious.
I know it’ll be requested by the hubs again, and that’s always a win-win for me.
Italian Sausage and Goat Cheese Portobello Pizzas
Serves 2Ingredients
- 4 Portobello mushrooms
- 4 ounces italian sausage
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 4 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 2 ounces goat cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat lightly with oil spray.
- Heat a small skillet to medium-high heat and cook the italian sausage until there is no longer any pink meat. Drain on a paper towel.
- Using a spoon, remove the gills from your mushrooms. Spread 2 tbsp of tomato sauce into each mushroom. Next divide the sausage evenly between them, then add the spinach, both types of onions and lastly crumble the goat cheese on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until your cheese is slightly toasted and your vegetables have softened.
I served these mini pizzas with russet and sweet potato fries + a simple green salad of romaine, cucumber and green onion. It was such a filling meal!
The pizzas even look tasty pre-bake. But you’ve got to try them baked. It’s an amazing pizza experience that you’ll want to have over and over again. No joke.
Have you ever tried Portobello pizzas? What would you top them with?
yum! I would put feta or Bononcini cheese!
Feta would be delish for sure.
What a fabulous idea! Portabello pizzas 🙂 mmmmm
Does the mushroom cook thoroughly in the oven?
Yup, it does cook through pretty well after 15 minutes.
Ahhh, I have to get me some portobello mushrooms ASAP! I can never seem to find them anywhere though; maybe I’m just not looking hard enough. But I love mushrooms and I love pizza, so I think you just gave me a whole new obsession 😉
Hmmmmm I always find them around all the other mushrooms. I’d ask and you’ll probably find 🙂
These look SO incredible! The portobello caps I’ve bought in the past were too flimsy… I’ll need to find some good ones!
Flimsy caps are no fun!
Portabello pizzas are so quick, easy, and healthy! They’re a favorite at my house…and these toppings look…AWESOME!
Very healthy for sure!
OMG!!! These look FAB!!! I am in love with Goat Cheese right now and I think I should really pull these off sometime soon….YUM!!
Lol, bikes and I don’t mesh well…
xxoo
Goat cheese is pretty stinking amazing. I don’t seem to be meshing too well with bikes now either 🙁
The pizza’s are ADORABLE! I want to make one now 🙂
just bought portobellos yesterday and i’m definitely making a pizza out of them 🙂
Perfect timing Felicia!
For me daaaahling, its always a food obsession, not a workout one LOL. I LOVE this pizza idea. Sometimes I do a low GI diet, and this would work perfectly for me when i’m “detoxing” from all my delicious carbs. I’m going to bookmark this so I remember to try it out.
*kisses* HH
haha you are too funny… at least you’ve got one obsession! I hope you like em 🙂
bah! Glad you weren’t far from home when the bike went nutso on you. I so wish I like mushrooms. These portobello pizzas are just too cute
