Ingredients
  

  • 24 ounces white button mushrooms
  • 1/3 pound beef sausage
  • 1/2 medium onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/3 cup cooking broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Clean mushrooms using a damp cloth. Remove stems and set aside both caps and stems.
  • Finely chop mushroom stems and reserve.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the beef sausage until browned. Remove and let cool.
  • In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add broth to deglaze the pan and let it reduce.
  • Add chopped mushroom stems, cook for another 2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
  • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, egg yolk, and Parmesan cheese. Add cooled sausage and mushroom mixture. Stir well.
  • Refrigerate the mixture briefly to firm it up.
  • Fill each mushroom cap generously with the mixture, forming a mound.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. This stuffed mushrooms recipe tastes best when warm, not piping hot.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling a day ahead
  • Add breadcrumbs for extra texture
  • Serve with dipping sauces or alongside grilled dishes
