How to Make Appetizer Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Gently remove stems from about 1 pound of large mushrooms (cremini or button work well). Roughly chop the stems and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
- Add the chopped mushroom stems to the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the sausage mixture generously into the mushroom caps.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, and the mushrooms are tender.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
