Ingredients

• 16 pieces large white button mushrooms
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 4 ounces Italian sausage, crumbled and cooked
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and carefully remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic for 2–3 minutes or until softened.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauteed mushroom stems, cooked Italian sausage, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the sausage and cheese mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure the filling is compacted.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle a little of the breadcrumb mixture on top of each stuffed mushroom for a crisp topping.

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired before serving.
