Ingredients

Make these incredible Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms packed full with a savory filling of seasoned breadcrumbs, zesty sausage, and an Italian six-cheese blend. They’re an easy appetizer, perfect for entertaining!

Steps

  • Preheat: Set your oven to 400˚F to start heating, and warm a medium-sized sauté pan or skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
  • Prep the Mushrooms: Briefly rinse the mushrooms or wipe the caps clean with a damp cloth, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully pop out the stems, then arrange the caps with tops down on a lined baking sheet.
  • Cook the Sausage and Garlic: In the heated pan, add the olive oil to coat the bottom. Add the Italian sausage and minced garlic, cooking and stirring occasionally for about 3–5 minutes, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
  • Make the Filling: Transfer the cooked sausage and garlic to a food processor, adding the breadcrumbs and six-cheese blend. Pulse the mixture about 15–20 times to combine. You’ll want a crumbly, well-mixed filling that’s easy to press into the mushroom caps.
  • Stuff the Mushrooms: Mound about 2–3 tablespoons of filling into each mushroom cap, pressing gently so the filling stays in place. Press a pinch of shredded Parmesan on top of each stuffed mushroom.
  • Bake to Perfection: Let the mushrooms bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden brown.

Notes

  • Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400˚F and cook mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese Be careful not to overcrowd the mushrooms, as they will steam and become soggy if packed too tightly.
  • Vegetarian: Replace the sausage with plant-based meat crumbles, or omit it altogether and double the amount of breadcrumbs and six-cheese If no meat is used, add a small drizzle of olive oil to the filling to help it hold together for stuffing.
  • Make Ahead: For convenience, prep the mushrooms and filling separately earlier in the day. When ready to serve, preheat the oven, stuff the mushrooms, and bake as directed.
