Ingredients

• 20 pieces Baby Bella mushrooms (stems removed)
• 8 ounces Ground Italian sausage
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for brushing)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Use a small spoon or your fingers to gently hollow out the caps if needed to create space for the filling.

Step 3

Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil on all sides and place them on the prepared baking sheet, hollow-side up.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Break the sausage into crumbles as it cooks.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the sausage mixture into each mushroom cap, gently packing the filling into the hollowed area.

Step 8

Top each stuffed mushroom with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving.
