Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 pounds Italian sausage (casings removed)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cups Bread crumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and hollow out the center of each mushroom cap with a small spoon.

Step 3

Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet with the hollow side facing up.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. This should take 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and spinach mixture with the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 8

Spoon the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing slightly to ensure the filling is packed tightly.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
