Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large button mushrooms
• 150 grams Chorizo sausage
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 40 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 10 grams Parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt and gently remove the stems. Save the stems for the filling and arrange the mushroom caps on a baking tray, cavity side up.

Step 3

Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and most of the moisture is evaporated.

Step 6

Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing (if applicable) and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and combined with the chorizo mixture.

Step 8

Season the filling with salt, black pepper, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 9

Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the chorizo filling, pressing it down slightly to pack it in.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until evenly coated.

Step 11

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the stuffed mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly covered.

Step 12

Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining chopped parsley, and serve warm.
