Portabella Pizza
One of the most dramatic ways to take advantage of the size and meatiness of a Phillips Portabella cap is to substitute it for a pizza crust. And it's much quicker and easier to make a portabella pizza than a regular one. Smaller caps, found in 6-ounce packages in grocery stores, are fine for making these miniature pizzas. If they measure 4 inches or less, you don't have to prebake them. Very large caps, however, need to be baked for about 5 minutes in a 350ºF or a microwave at the highest setting for 1 minute oven before you proceed with the toppings. Use any of your favorite pizza toppings - pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, and so forth. (Most people prefer to eat this pizza with a knife and fork.)

Ingredients:
* 1 6-ounce package Phillips Portabella caps, or 4 whole Phillips Portabella caps
* A little oil, for brushing
* 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce
* 5 ounces mozzarella or any other good melting cheese

Preparation:
Preheat the oven top 350°F.
Wipe the caps clean of any dirt and brush lightly with oil. Place them on a baking dish, gill side up. Cover generously with the sauce, then top with the cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is well melted. Serve immediately. (Most people prefer to eat this pizza with a knife and fork)
