Ingredients
  

  • 24 large white button mushrooms
  • 1/2 pound hot breakfast sausage
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs optional

Instructions
 

Clean the Mushrooms

  • Wipe the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Do not soak them in a bowl of water. Pull the stems out carefully with your fingers.

Prep the Filling Base

  • Chop the mushroom stems into very tiny pieces. Set them aside in a small bowl for later.

Brown the Sausage

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the sausage and break it into small bits. Cook until the meat is brown and fully cooked.

Cook the Stems

  • Add the chopped stems to the pan with sausage. Stir in the minced garlic as well. Cook for three minutes until the stems are soft.

Cool the Meat

  • Remove the pan from the heat. Let the sausage mixture cool down for five minutes. This prevents the cheese from melting too fast.

Mix the Filling

  • Put the soft cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the sausage mix and the Parmesan cheese. Stir in the parsley and the black pepper well.

Fill the Caps

  • Place the mushroom caps on a greased baking sheet. Use a small spoon to fill each cap high. Press the filling down so it stays inside.

Bake Until Bubbly

  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the tray inside for 20 to 25 minutes. The tops should look golden and the cheese bubbly.

Notes

  • Dry the mushrooms: Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Wet mushrooms will release too much juice and get soggy.
  • Use hot sausage: Spicy sausage balances the rich cream cheese. It gives the appetizer a much better flavor profile.
  • Soften the cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature. This makes it very easy to mix by hand.
  • Add a crunch: Sprinkle Panko breadcrumbs on top before baking. This adds a nice toasted texture to every bite.
  • Stuff them full: Don't be afraid to pile the filling high. The filling shrinks a little bit as it bakes.
  • Drain the grease: Pour off the sausage fat before mixing. This keeps the mushrooms from being too oily on top.
