No one can resist stuffed mushrooms with the fantastic flavor of pizza! The Italian-style appetizers disappear as fast as I can put them on a plate.—Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Ingredients

  • 24 large fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2/3 cup chopped pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop stems; set caps aside.
  2. In a large skillet, saute the onion, pepperoni and mushroom stems in butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and salt; remove from the heat and cool slightly. Spoon into mushroom caps.
