Mushrooms are stuffed with a cheesy sausage stuffing and baked until juicy and melty.
Selecting Mushrooms for Stuffing
Choose smaller mushrooms for a single bite or medium-sized for a two-bite appetizer. White button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are smaller and hold about two to three teaspoons of filling – perfect for a party appetizer! Other ingredients needed for sausage stuffed mushrooms include: They absorb water easily, so if you do rinse mushrooms, do it quickly and then dab them dry with a paper towel. This helps keep them from becoming soggy and watery.
Cheese: Cream cheese is the base for these mushrooms while cheddar cheese adds flavor. Sausage: I use breakfast sausage, but you can swap in spicy Italian sausage if you’d like. Flavor: Mushrooms and sausage add a lot of flavor to this recipe. I also add a little bit of onion, garlic, and Parmesan cheese for flavor.
How To Make Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
To scoop out the center, bend the stem to snap it out and use a small spoon, a melon baller, or a tomato corer to create a well in the center. Once the mushrooms are prepared, fill and bake!
