Mushroom Puff Pastry “Pizza”

When you don’t have the time (or skill) to make pizza crust from scratch, roll out puff pastry, smother with pizza toppings and lots of cheese, and bake.

You could, of course, add meat. Chopped ham or slices of pepperoni are perfect. Salami is a great choice too. Or lightly cooked chopped bacon.

But I baked this snack at a time when one of my daughters was on a vegetarian diet. I didn’t want to exclude her from enjoying this delicious snack so I made it meatless.
