Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large white or cremini mushrooms
• 0.5 pounds Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked and browned, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Stir in the cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Mix until evenly combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Spoon the sausage mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing gently to fill them. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the stuffed mushrooms for a crispy topping.

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 the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
