Ingredients

• 16 pieces Monterey mushrooms (large, whole)
• 0.5 pounds Ground spicy Italian sausage
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a small spoon to hollow out the centers slightly, creating space for the filling. Set aside the caps and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped mushroom stems, and ground spicy Italian sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.

Step 4

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and transfer the sausage mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the softened cream cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, green onions, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine into a cohesive filling.

Step 6

Using a small spoon, stuff each mushroom cap generously with the sausage filling. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 7

Top each stuffed mushroom with a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the stuffed mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
