Description
These Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms are one of my most popular recipes. Perfect for any weeknight. Pair with a side salad for a complete meal. Leftovers can be enjoyed up to three days in the fridge. Relatively easy recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large portabella mushrooms
- 3 TBLS olive oil
- 1/2 lb. ground country sausage
- 2 slices bread
- 3/4 C heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 TBLS whipped Philadelphia cream cheese
- 1/2 C Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 C mushroom stems, chopped
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 C chopped spinach, chopped
- 8 oz. Fontina cheese, crumbled
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°.
- Heat up one tablespoon of the olive oil in a pan. Add the sausage and break apart.
- As the sausage is browning, add the heavy whipping cream to a bowl. Tear the bread into tiny pieces and add to the cream. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Allow the bread to soak while you work on the remaining ingredients.
- Wipe the mushrooms with a paper towel to clean. With a spoon, scoop out the insides to form a well.
- Chop up the stems and insides to make one cup. Reserve.
- Once the sausage is browned, add in the minced shallot and reserved chopped mushroom stems.
- Season with kosher salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Allow to sauté for about two to three minutes.
- Add the spinach to the sausage mixture. Mix. Remove from heat.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the bread mixture. Combine well.
- Add the sausage mixture to the cheese. Combine until uniform.
- Brush the outside of the mushrooms with a touch of olive oil. Place top down onto a non-stick baking sheet.
- Fill the mushrooms with the sausage/cheese mixture. Use it all.
- Top each with a generous amount of fontina cheese crumbles.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Turn on broiler. Broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
- Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- ENJOY!
