Ingredients
- 20 large white mushrooms
- 1 pound Italian sausage casing removed
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the mushrooms
- Clean mushrooms gently with damp towel and remove stems. Keep caps whole for stuffing. Chop stems small for filling later.
Cook the sausage
- Heat skillet and add olive oil and sausage. Break sausage into small pieces while cooking. Cook fully until browned and fragrant.
Add vegetables
- Add chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic to skillet. Cook until soft and lightly golden. Stir well so flavors mix nicely.
Make the filling
- Place sausage mix in bowl. Add bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix until thick stuffing mixture forms easily.
Stuff the mushrooms
- Fill each mushroom cap with sausage stuffing. Press slightly so filling stays in place. Arrange them on lined baking sheet.
Bake the mushrooms
- Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden. Mushrooms become tender and juicy inside. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Choose large mushrooms for easy filling
- Do not soak mushrooms in water
- Cook sausage fully before stuffing
- Use fresh parsley for bright flavor
- Add extra cheese for richer taste
- Use spicy sausage if you like heat
- Brush caps with oil for shine
