Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 medium white mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casing removed
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Finely chop the mushroom stems. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the stems and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage mixture with breadcrumbs, Parmesan, cream cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fill each mushroom cap with a generous spoonful of the sausage filling and place them on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can make the filling a day ahead and refrigerate until ready to stuff.
  • Use spicy Italian sausage for a bit of heat, or sweet sausage for a milder flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs.
