Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large white or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 pound Italian sausage (casings removed)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a small spoon to scoop out a bit of the inside, creating space for the filling. Set the hollowed mushroom caps aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned, about 6-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 5

To the bowl with sausage, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese (reserving a small portion of mozzarella for topping), chopped parsley, cooked garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.

Step 6

Spoon the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to pack it in. Overflowing slightly is okay.

Step 7

Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.

Step 8

Broil the mushrooms on the middle rack for 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese over the mushrooms. Return to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 10

Allow the mushrooms to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
