Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pepperoni (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Stir in the chopped mushroom stems and pepperoni, if using.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the hollowed mushroom caps, mounding the filling slightly.

- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add a small amount of Parmesan cheese to the filling mixture.
- Wipe the mushrooms clean instead of washing them to prevent them from absorbing too much water.
- You can prepare the filling up to a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
