Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Spoon
- 1 Knife
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 20 large button mushrooms
- 1/2 pound 225g Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup 60g breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup 25g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons 30ml olive oil
- 2 tablespoons 30ml chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Take each mushroom cap and fill it generously with the sausage mixture, pressing down slightly to pack the filling.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffed mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown and crispy on top.
- Once cooked, remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Filling Ingredients - Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese to achieve the desired consistency of the filling. Add finely chopped vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the filling mixture for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Seasoning and Herbs - Customize the seasoning of the filling with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil for added depth of flavor. Taste the filling mixture before stuffing the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
