Bake juicy cremini mushrooms filled with Italian sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. This recipe avoids sogginess and works well for make-ahead preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for binding)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Wipe the mushroom caps clean. Finely chop the removed stems and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  4. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. If using, mix in the breadcrumbs for a firmer filling.
  6. Spoon the filling evenly into the mushroom caps, mounding slightly. Place the filled mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with extra Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, omit the breadcrumbs and add 1/4 cup finely chopped cooked bacon instead.
  • You can prepare the stuffed mushrooms up to 24 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate before baking. Add 5 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If using very large mushrooms, baking time may be closer to 30 minutes. For smaller mushrooms, check them around 18 minutes.
  • To hold them warm for serving, place baked mushrooms on a baking sheet in a 200 degree F oven for up to 1 hour.
