🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 16 pieces Monterey mushrooms (large, whole)
• 0.5 pounds Ground spicy Italian sausage
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a small spoon to hollow out the centers slightly, creating space for the filling. Set aside the caps and finely chop the stems.

3. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped mushroom stems, and ground spicy Italian sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.

4. Drain any excess grease from the skillet and transfer the sausage mixture to a large mixing bowl.

5. Add the softened cream cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, green onions, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine into a cohesive filling.

6. Using a small spoon, stuff each mushroom cap generously with the sausage filling. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

7. Top each stuffed mushroom with a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan cheese.

8. Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly, and the mushrooms are tender.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.

10. Serve warm and enjoy!
