Description
Delicious stuffed mushrooms filled with savory sausage and creamy Gruyère cheese, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 large white button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
- 8 ounces spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1 cup (100g) Gruyère cheese, grated
- 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup (25g) panko breadcrumbs, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove stems carefully and set aside. Brush mushroom caps lightly with olive oil and arrange on the baking sheet, hollow side up.
- Finely dice the reserved mushroom stems.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Remove sausage to a bowl, leaving drippings in the pan.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic, shallot, and diced mushroom stems until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Combine cooked sausage, sautéed aromatics, softened cream cheese, grated Gruyère, and chopped parsley in the bowl. Stir until well blended. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Fill each mushroom cap generously with the sausage mixture. Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden and bubbly.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over mushrooms before serving.
Notes
Ensure mushrooms are clean but don’t soak them in water. Add spices for extra flavor or broil for crispiness.
