Instructions
Preheat your oven to broil on high. Place the oven rack in the middle position.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, and 4 teaspoons of the Italian seasoning. Brush the bottom of each mushroom cap with this garlic oil mixture. Arrange the mushrooms, oil side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Fill each mushroom cap with 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce, followed by 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, 5 mini pepperonis, and a few slices of tomato.
Broil in the oven for about 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
Sprinkle the remaining Italian seasoning over the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste.
