Ingredients
- 24 extra-large white button mushrooms, see notes.
- 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ¾ lb mild Italian sausage
- 4 whole scallions, diced
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 oz mascarpone cheese
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a spoon, carefully remove the stems from each mushroom.
- Place the mushrooms in a bowl and generously coat them with 3 Tbsp of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Allow them to marinate while you prepare the filling.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil. Add sausage and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes. Add scallions and garlic to the sausage. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and mascarpone cheese, ensuring the cheese softens and blends with the other ingredients. Quickly stir in the parmesan then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Place the mushroom caps in an 11 x 13 baking sheet. Generously stuff each cap with the sausage and cheese mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown. Garnish with chopped parsley just before serving.
