Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 medium cremini mushrooms (about 1½ lbs)
  • ½ lb mild or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped mushroom stems
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Wipe mushrooms clean, remove stems, and finely chop enough stems for ¼ cup. Set caps aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, 5 minutes. Drain excess fat, add butter, garlic, and chopped stems; cook 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon filling into mushroom caps, mounding slightly. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until tops are golden and bubbly. Garnish with extra parsley and serve hot.

Notes

If your mushrooms are on the large side, extend the bake time by a few minutes until the caps are tender when pierced. Let them cool just a minute before serving so the cheese isn’t scalding.
