A large portobello cap used as the crust, topped with mozzarella, tomato, olives, and basil. It makes a low-carb pizza for one.

Ingredients

1 large portobello cap stem/gills removed
½ tablespoon olive oil divided
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup shredded mozzarella divided
1 small tomato sliced
1 teaspoon sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped basil divided

Directions

Heat the oven to 375°F. Set the mushroom cap on a rimmed baking tray and brush the top with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Bake for 5 minutes.
Turn the cap over and brush the inside with the rest of the oil. Sprinkle with the oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Add half of the mozzarella, then the tomato slices, olives, and some of the basil. Top with the other half of the mozzarella.
Bake for 20 more minutes, until the cheese is browned and the mushroom is tender. Finish with the remaining basil.
