Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound white button mushrooms, stems removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces bulk mild Italian sausage, casing removed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems; set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook until they release their moisture and soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Break the sausage apart with a spoon and cook until browned completely. Drain off any excess grease.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture evenly into the hollowed-out mushroom caps, mounding the filling slightly.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is lightly golden brown on top.
- Serve these quick party appetizers immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare the filling up to one day ahead. Store it covered in the refrigerator and stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the cream cheese with Boursin cheese for a garlic herb stuffed mushrooms variation.
- If you want a crispier topping, sprinkle a tablespoon of panko breadcrumbs over the filling before baking.
