INGREDIENT NOTES:

KETO PIZZA SAUCE:

• Keto pizza sauce is used in the stuffing of mushrooms. You can alternate it with the homemade keto sauce.

PEPPERONI:

• Pepperoni gives healthy fats and regular pizza flavor. We can substitute it with beef pepperoni, salami slices, turkey pepperoni, or chopped cooked bacon.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• This cheese makes these mushrooms taste salty and strong. Alternatively, you may utilize grated cheddar, asiago, or romano cheese.

MUSHROOMS:

• They are utilized to make the pizza crust foundation. We can swap it with mini eggplant slices, zucchini rounds, or bell pepper halves.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil helps to enrich the flavors and coat the mushrooms. You can replace it with ghee, melted butter, or avocado oil.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Mozzarella cheese provides a rich and creamy texture. We can use Oaxaca cheese, provolone, or Monterey Jack as a replacement.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE:

• Italian seasoning gives more protein and strong flavors. You can use crumbled breakfast sausage, ground beef, turkey, or chicken instead.
