Cheesy Mushroom Tilapia

Cheesy Mushroom Tilapia

This dish is mild, but delicious. Mushrooms, tilapia and Parmesan cheese are the perfect medley of flavors!

I love mushrooms, and lucky for me, I can tolerate them too! Mushrooms are one of those foods on the “to try in moderation” list for fructose malabsorption. I’ve heard that they can can contain mannitol, which is a sugar alcohol. I have a hard time with most sugar alcohols, so I don’t know why mushroom don’t bother me. I have read that mushrooms don’t bother other people with FructMal. I guess I shouldn’t question it. Fructose malabsorption is such a willy-nilly condition. Foods that I would expect to be bothered by, I’m not and vice-versa. It’s just important to listen to what your body is telling you.


I really love this recipe. I got the inspiration from a recipe on the Kraft website. I kind of changed the recipe. A lot. I didn’t have Italian dressing or mozzarella cheese. However, I did have Parmesan cheese and I improvised the rest. Oh, and I increased the mushrooms quite a bit and decided to saute them. Mmmmmm…sauteed mushrooms…..
