Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 12 medium fresh white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed

Filling

  • 8 oz ground Italian sausage
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond meal for gluten-free option)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Gently clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove stems. Finely chop the stems and set mushroom caps aside.
  2. Cook the sausage and veggies: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking into small crumbles. Add chopped mushroom stems, minced garlic, and sliced green onions; sauté until tender and fragrant.
  3. Mix the filling: Transfer cooked sausage mixture to a bowl. Add softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined into a creamy but firm filling.
  4. Stuff the mushroom caps: Generously fill each mushroom cap with the sausage and cream cheese mixture, mounding slightly for a hearty bite.
  5. Bake to perfection: Arrange stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet, drizzle lightly with remaining olive oil, and bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for about 20 minutes, until tops are golden and mushrooms are tender.

Notes

  • Choose fresh mushrooms that are firm and wrinkle-free for best texture and flavor.
  • Avoid overstuffing mushrooms to prevent filling from spilling and ensure even cooking.
  • Soften cream cheese before mixing for a smooth, easy-to-combine filling.
  • Use a non-stick pan to brown sausage without sticking or burning.
  • Let stuffed mushrooms rest for a few minutes after baking so filling sets and is safer to eat.
