Marcy's Stuffed Mushrooms

recipe

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 375°F. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper-towel. Carefully remove & finely chop the stems. Transfer the mushroom caps to a parchment lined sheet tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt & pepper. Roast in the oven for 10 min.
• Step 2
  Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing! Heat a drizzle of oil on a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, frozen spinach & grated garlic. Stir & cook until most of the moisture is evaporated, about 3-5 min.
• Step 3
  Add in the ground sausage. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a spatula, for about 3-5 min. Season with salt & pepper. Stir it all together then transfer the mix to large heat-proof bowl to cool slightly.
• Step 4
  In a small bowl, combine panko & grated parmesan cheese.
• Step 5
  Remove the roasted mushrooms from the oven & flip them so the cavity side is facing up.
• Step 6
  In the bowl with the sausage mix, add in cream cheese & half of the panko mixture. Mix it all together until well-combined.
• Step 7
  Stuff each mushroom with a scoop of the creamy mixture. Top with a sprinkle of the remaining panko mixture. Spritz each mushroom with some cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil then roast in the oven for 12-15 min until the mushrooms are fork tender & golden on top. Serve & enjoy!
