Author Notes
I love, love, love mushrooms. Unfortunately In rural MN they can be hard to come by except button and baby bellas. I have learned that if you cook them a really long time they get really yummy. So when I saw the contest, I thought Yeah, mushrooms! At first I was going to make a mushroom and brie soup but then thought I wanted to do something different and I am trying to lose weight at the moment also and my soup is very rich and as I would need to make this and test it before submitting I thought I would lighten things up, but I still wanted some of those same flavors. It is also FINALLY getting warm here in northern MN so getting the grill out seemed ideal so I decided to do grilled pizza (I have never grill them before but wanted the flavor so I thought, why not?) I only made this tonight and I hope yours turns out as great as mine did, I will be making this again and again this summer to be sure! Really great with a nice rose wine! —Penelope
