Description
Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms are a delicious appetizer filled with a savory mixture of Italian sausage, cream cheese, and spices, baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 large white mushrooms, stems removed
- 8 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the sausage mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, use spicy Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds for a low-carb variation.
