I’m all about simplifying my life during this crazy holiday season so I can enjoy it. This side dish graces our Thanksgiving table every year.

INGREDIENTS IN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

  • WHITE MUSHROOMS – I like to use regular white button mushrooms. You could also use cremini mushrooms, portobello, or baby bella mushrooms. Larger mushrooms aren’t necessarily better than smaller mushrooms. You want a mushroom that’s the perfect bite size.
  • SAUSAGE
  • ONION
  • GARLIC
  • CREAM CHEESE – you could use fat free cream cheese. This holds the stuffing together.
  • EGG YOLK
  • PARMESAN CHEESE
  • CHICKEN BROTH

HOW TO MAKE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean mushrooms. Wipe off whole mushrooms with a damp paper towel or rag. Pop out mushrooms stems, reserving both parts including the mushroom stalks and mushroom cap.
  2. Chop stems finely and set aside.
  3. In a medium skillet, brown and crumble the Italian sausage. Set aside on a plate to cool.
  4. Add onions and garlic to the same skillet; cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Pour in wine or broth to deglaze pan, allow liquid to evaporate. Add in chopped mushroom stems, stir to cook for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set mixture aside on a plate to cool.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and egg yolk. Stir together with Parmesan cheese. Add cooled sausage and cooled mushroom stems. Stir cream cheese mixture together and refrigerate for a short time to firm up.
  6. Smear stuffed mushroom filling into the cavity of each mushroom, creating a sizable mound over the top. Place mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool at least ten minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
