Ingredients

• 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot, casing removed)
• 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon to create space for the stuffing.

Step 3

Brush the mushroom caps with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on both sides. Place them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the Italian sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed garlic and onion, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 7

Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly into the mushroom caps, pressing lightly to pack the filling.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the stuffed mushrooms.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and enjoy!
