Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Large white or cremini mushrooms
- 0.5 pounds Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked and browned, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in the cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Mix until evenly combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spoon the sausage mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing gently to fill them. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the stuffed mushrooms for a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
