Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and a lovely golden color.
- Gently clean the mushroom caps with a damp cloth and carefully remove the stems. Optionally, chop the stems finely to mix into the filling.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni, grated Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped mushroom stems if using.
- Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the pizza filling mixture.

Notes
- You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate before baking.
- Freeze unbaked stuffed mushrooms for up to 2 months; bake directly from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to bake time.
- Customize with different cheeses, meats, vegetables, or sauces to suit your taste preferences.
