Pizza Stuffed Mushroom Appetizer

Today is another game day for Boise State football fans.  So in honor of the big game tonight, I baked up some yummy appetizers including this one.  If you’re not a mushroom lover, you might be tempted to skip this recipe, but don’t because this recipe might just change your world about mushrooms.  I found variations of this tasty starter on several food blogs and sites and wanted to give it a try and I’m so glad I did.

They are fairly easy to put together, but are best served piping hot, right out of the oven, so you might not want to take them to the tailgating party at the stadium, but if you’re watching the game from home like we will be doing, then they are perfect.  And they make for a great little lunch munch if you’re looking for something different to fix.

Did you know mushrooms contain vitamin D?  Mushrooms stand out as the only source of vitamin D in the produce aisle and one of the few non-fortified food sources.  Granted you have to eat a lot of mushrooms to get the same amount of vitamin D found in milk, but her’s a new twist.  Growers have learned that when they expose mushrooms to ultraviolet light, the vitamin D content can increase 100 fold.  So look for mushrooms that have been ultraviolet light treated for a fabulous source of vitamin D.  Who knew?
