Ingredients

• 16 pieces Button or cremini mushrooms
• 8 ounces Italian sausage (ground, mild or spicy)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems.

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 spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the chopped mushroom stems. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Transfer the sautéed mushroom stems and garlic to the bowl with the sausage. Add the softened cream cheese, green onions, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 6

Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, cavity side up. Lightly drizzle them with olive oil.

Step 7

Spoon the sausage and cream cheese mixture generously into each mushroom cap, pressing lightly to pack the filling.

Step 8

Top the filled mushrooms with breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
