How to Prepare Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms:  

Please refer to the recipe card for precise measurements. 

Preheat the oven to 375°.

Start with washing the mushrooms and removing the stems. Place the caps onto a baking sheet.

Remove the woody, tough ends from the mushroom stems and discard. Chop remaining stems very fine.

In a pan over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, remove, drain, and set aside.

In the same pan, add the olive oil and cook the minced onions until they are translucent (a couple minutes).

Add in the mushroom stems and cook until soft (about 2 minutes).

Add in garlic and cook until fragrant (about a minute).

Add in the crushed red pepper, thyme, and fresh sage.

Add the sausage back to the pan, stir and add in the softened cream cheese and Parmesan.

Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Drizzle olive oil over the mushroom caps and lightly sprinkle with truffle salt, pipe or spoon the sausage mixture into each cap.

In a small bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, lemon zest, paprika, and parsley. Sprinkle over the top of each mushroom cap.

Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Prepping Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms in Advance:

To prepare stuffed mushrooms ahead of time, you first need to decide how far ahead you are working.

If you are preparing the night before or morning of (for an afternoon of evening event), I recommend baking the caps upside down on a sheet pan at 350° for 5 - 10 minutes to dry them out a bit. Stuff them with the filling, then store them covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook. Bring them as close to room temp as possible, and them bake as directed.

If you are preparing days in advance, stuff the mushrooms raw, fill them with the cooled filling, and them freeze. Bake directly from frozen.

Storage:

Stuffed mushrooms are best eaten day of, but you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container afterward.

Reheating:

Stuffed mushrooms can be reheated individually in the microwave for 30 seconds - 3 minutes, until the filling is soft. Alternatively, you can reheat a larger portion on a sheet pan for 10 - 15 minutes at 375°.
