Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 12 large fresh button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and chopped

Filling

  • 8 oz ground sausage (spicy Italian or mild breakfast sausage)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth, then carefully remove the stems to create hollow caps for stuffing. Finely chop the stems and set aside for the filling.
  2. Cook the filling ingredients: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet and sauté the chopped mushroom stems with minced garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  3. Mix the filling: Transfer the cooked sausage mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Stir in the cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until creamy and fully combined.
  4. Stuff the mushrooms: Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the sausage and cream cheese mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
  5. Bake to perfection: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Choose larger mushrooms like baby bellas for more stuffing space and better texture.
  • Don’t overfill mushroom caps to avoid spilling during baking.
  • Drain excess moisture by sautéing mushroom stems and sausage thoroughly.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and creamier filling.
  • Optional: Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top before baking for an extra crunchy bite.
