Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
These stuffed mushrooms feature medium-sized white or brown mushrooms cleaned and hollowed to create space for the filling. The stems are diced and cooked with ground pork or Italian sausage along with onions and garlic to build a flavorful base. Cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses are combined with the cooled sausage mixture resulting in a creamy, flavorful stuffing.
The mushrooms are filled with the mixture, topped with extra cheese, and baked at 400°F until bubbly and golden. Baking melts the cheeses and cooks the mushrooms through, yielding tender caps with a melty, savory filling and a crispy cheese topping. The dish is suitable as a party appetizer or savory snack, showcasing a blend of meat and creamy cheese inside tender mushrooms.
These can be made without sausage by increasing cream cheese or substituting finely diced ham, crab, or shrimp in the filling. For a crunchy topping alternative, mix Panko breadcrumbs with butter and Parmesan to sprinkle on before baking.
Ingredients
- 24 medium mushrooms white or brown, or 48 small mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces ground pork sausage or Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons white onion or finely chopped green onoin, finely diced
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- parsley for garnish, optional, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel to remove any debris. Remove the stems.
- Using a small spoon, scrape out the middle of the mushroom to make a well for the filling. Finely dice the stems and any bits that have been removed.
- In a 10-inch skillet, cook the sausage, onion, garlic, and chopped mushroom stems over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain any fat and cool the sausage.
- In a small bowl, mix cheddar and parmesan cheese. Reserve ¼ cup for topping.
- In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheese mixture, cooled sausage, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fill each mushroom cap with the cream cheese filling.
- Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are cooked.
Notes
- You can omit sausage and increase cream cheese or substitute with diced ham, crab, or shrimp for the filling.
- For a crumb topping, mix 3 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle before baking.
