Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and set the mushroom caps aside. Chop the stems finely and reserve them for the filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the sage-flavored sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Lower the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and chopped sage. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Season the filling with salt and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Using a spoon, generously stuff each mushroom cap with the sausage filling, pressing down lightly to secure it in place.
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tops of the mushrooms to help them brown as they bake.
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 let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!
