My husband and I came up with this one day when we found ourselves with a few too many mushrooms on hand. A true low carb pizza. Delicious appetizer or great main dish.

I love portabello and we had 2 in the fridge and your recipe was excellent. We used a pork sausage and our cheese was a mixture of 5 or 6 odds/ends of blocks of various gouda, cheddar, mozz, asiago. Would def repeat again.
