Ingredients

• 16 pieces large white button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces Italian sausage (casings removed)
• 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 spray cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp towel. Remove the stems and set aside, creating a hollow cavity in each mushroom cap.

Step 3

Finely chop the removed mushroom stems and set them aside for use in the filling.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until no longer pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed mushroom stems and garlic, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Using a small spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture, mounding it slightly.

Step 8

Place the stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray to encourage browning.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
