Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional – 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Optional – 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove the stems and gills using a spoon. Brush each cap lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground sausage. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. When it’s halfway browned, add the minced garlic and chopped sage. Cook until the sausage is fully browned and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cooked sausage mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
  4. Place the prepared mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Spoon the sausage mixture generously into each cap, pressing gently to pack the filling.
  5. Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is golden and the mushrooms are tender.
  6. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. These mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh, but they reheat beautifully too!

Notes

[‘Choose large, firm portobello caps without cracks for best results.’, ‘Brushing the mushrooms with olive oil keeps them moist and flavorful.’, ‘Season generously with salt, pepper, and herbs to enhance the flavor.’, ‘Pre-cook the sausage filling to ensure flavors meld and avoid undercooked filling.’, ‘Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more red pepper flakes for spice or omitting them for a milder flavor.’]
