Marcy's Stuffed Mushrooms

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!
