Instructions

Preheat oven to 400º F.

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chopped mushroom stems and the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the stems are tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes or until no longer pink. Be sure to break up the sausage into fine crumbles. Remove from heat and drain excess fat.

Break up cream cheese into chunks and add it to the sausage. Stir until combined. Add in the mushroom stem mixture, parmesan cheese, parsley and All Purpose Seasoning. Stir until completely combined.

Evenly fill each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden. Allow the mushrooms to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Remove Mushroom Stems Completely 🍄
Gently twist and pull out the entire stem, then use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the dark gills to create more room for the creamy filling and improve texture.
Brown the Sausage First 🔥
Cook the Italian sausage separately until deeply browned before mixing with cream cheese to develop rich flavor and eliminate excess moisture that would make the filling watery.
Soften Cream Cheese at Room Temperature 🧈
Allow cream cheese to sit out for 15-20 minutes before mixing so it blends smoothly with other ingredients, creating a uniform, luxurious filling without lumps.
Brush Mushroom Caps with Olive Oil 🫒
Coat both sides of mushroom caps lightly with olive oil before baking to prevent them from drying out and help them develop a golden, tender texture.
Toast Parmesan on Top at the End ⏱️
Add grated Parmesan cheese during the final 2-3 minutes of baking so it melts and browns beautifully without burning, creating an irresistible golden crust.
