Juicy cremini mushrooms filled with Italian sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese, baked until golden brown. This recipe avoids sogginess.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 pound mild or hot Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove the stems and finely chop the stems. Set the caps aside.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped mushroom stems, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and pepper. If using, mix in the breadcrumbs now.
  5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  6. Spoon the filling evenly into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly.
  7. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with a little extra Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is hot throughout and the tops are lightly browned. For smaller mushrooms, check at 18 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • To make this recipe low-carb, omit the breadcrumbs entirely.
  • You can prepare the filled mushrooms up to 24 hours ahead. Cover the tray tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • These hold well on a warm platter for about one hour if kept covered loosely with foil.
  • If you use an air fryer, cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, checking for doneness.
