Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Isernio’s Chicken Italian Sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 16-20 large white mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
  • Fresh parsley or rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside, as they will be used in the stuffing mixture. Place the mushrooms stem-side up on a baking sheet.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the Isernio’s Chicken Italian Sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until it’s fully browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
  6. While the sausage cooks, finely chop the reserved mushroom stems and add them to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.
  7. Stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The mixture should hold together well; if it feels too dry, add a tablespoon of olive oil or a bit more cream cheese.
  8. Spoon the sausage mixture generously into each mushroom cap, pressing it down slightly to ensure it stays in place.
  9. Place the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
  10. Remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprig of rosemary for a festive touch, and serve warm.
