Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Clean mushrooms. Remove stems and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add mushroom caps, olive oil and chopped garlic and toss to coat mushroom caps. Place on baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.

While mushrooms are in oven prepare filling. Finely dice mushroom stems and place in mixing bowl. Add tomato sauce, diced green peppers, diced pepperoni, diced shallots, Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese and mix thoroughly.

Remove mushroom caps from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Take mixture and roll into meatball-sized balls and place in mushroom caps. Continue until all mixture has been used and all caps stuffed.

Place back in oven for 10–12 minutes until desired doneness. Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt, pepper and chopped chives. Enjoy.
