Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 large Egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 loaf Bread loaf (French or Italian, approximately 16 inches)
- 3 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the chopped onion until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, onion mixture, parsley, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and beaten egg. Mix well to create the stuffing. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Using a serrated knife, slice the top off the bread loaf lengthwise and set the top aside. Carefully hollow out the inside of the loaf, leaving a ½-inch thick shell to hold the filling.
Spoon the sausage mixture into the hollowed-out loaf, pressing it down gently to pack it evenly. Replace the top of the loaf to close it.
Brush the outside of the bread with melted butter and sprinkle with dried oregano for extra flavor.
Place the stuffed loaf on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
