Portabella Mushroom Pizza "Bites"

This was one of those things i've seen on Pinterest and finally decided to try. Didn't follow exactly what it said, measurements and such though. Here's the link to the recipe i used for the basic info on making these, Portabella Pizza Bites

First off i'll start with that i call these "bites" because i didn't use the mini sized ones, they were more like just mini pizzas.

I've never had portabella mushrooms before, or at least not that i remember/know. Wasn't sure on how big of a taste difference they'd have. It tasted just like a normal cooked mushroom taste, so that was good. Trying new foods always give me that kind of feeling "will it be gross?" I get that feeling on some things i know i like that i just haven't had for some time lol.

Back to the "bites". Like i said at the start, i didn't follow the recipe completely. I still used marinara and i did use mozzarella cheese, but just regular though so i didn't use the egg mix. Also used regular pepperoni instead of the turkey. Some had olives and some didn't. I made 5 of them all together.

I completely forgot to take pictures from the very start, so i remember when i was half way done with putting the sauce on. so here's the pictures of that and just before melting the cheese. Also instead of the oven, cooked them in the BBQ, it was too hot to turn the oven on.

Taste wise, best i can really say it tasted like was if you had a pizza with pepperoni and a LOT of mushrooms and only ate the toppings. It tasted like a pizza without the crust, just with a lot of mushroom taste to it. I like mushrooms so that wasn't a problem. My parents both tried it said it was good. I'll probably try this again at some point, maybe follow the recipe exact to try that or try different versions like use a white sauce instead.

If you like pizza and mushrooms, i'd recommend this for you. And if you follow the recipe and making it the healthier version then makes a good snack for a dieter (next time when i follow the exact recipe i will post about it again with the weight watchers point plus).

I did look up the nutrition  of the mushrooms and was a bit surprised that it has 5 grams of protein for a cups for. Points wise for weight watchers, white mushrooms and the portabella mushrooms are both 0 points, but nice to learn that the portabella has better protein and fiber.

Summary
Pros:
- tasted like pizza
- nice for a snack or little meal
Cons:
- some of the mushrooms were still really juicy and made it a bit messy to eat with hands
- i love mushrooms, but if you are craving the crust of pizza more than the over all pizza taste, then this won't satisfy the pizza craving all that much.

As long as i'm not too lazy, i will make this again. Like i said, i'll try different ways for fun to see how to work and to try the real recipe. It's not hard to make, i'm just lazy at times lol.
