Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
- 1 large shallot, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lb. medium pork sausage
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 1/2 chopped chopped fresh spinach
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 20–25 baby bella mushrooms
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella
- chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Carefully remove stems from all the mushrooms. Finely chop the mushrooms stems and set aside. {HINT!!! To the mushrooms caps themselves, thinly slice the bottom to give yourself a “steady base” for the mushroom. This will help it not fall over when you stuff them.}
- Heat a large saute pan to medium high heat.
- Add grape seed oil and shallots. Sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add in garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring the entire time.
- Add in chopped up mushrooms stems. Saute for 3 minutes, stirring throughout.
- Next, to the pan add in sausage. Sauté until sauté is browned, about 5-6 minutes, breaking up sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon the entire time.
- Once sausage is browned add in oregano, parsley and fresh spinach. Stir to mix and saute until spinach is wilted down. Remove from heat.
- Add sausage mixture to a small bowl along with cream cheese. Using a spatula mix everything together. Set aside.
- On a baking sheet, line up prepared mushrooms (with the hole facing up).
- Using a small spoon, stuffed each mushroom with the filling. (depending on the size of your mushrooms you may need to add more to use up the remaining filling)
- Bake for 40 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Remove from oven top each mushrooms with tiny amounts of mozzarella cheese.
- Garnish with chives.
- Serve warm!
