Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tinfoil (for easy cleanup). Start by browning your sausage over medium heat, breaking up the sausage as it cooks.
Clean off your mushrooms with a damp towel and remove the stems. I use 15 of the stems in this recipe - place the stems in a food chopper and cut them into small pieces, remove and set aside.
In the food chopper,add ½ an onion cut in half and the garlic cloves. Chop until the pieces are nice and small.
Once the sausage is browned remove it from the pan. In the same pan add the chopped onions and garlic. Stir these around for 2-3 minutes while everything gets nice and hot. Pour in the chicken broth and continue to cook the onions.
Once the chicken broth is evaporated (about 2 to 3 minutes) add the mushroom stems and your salt and pepper. Cook this until the mushrooms are soft and the moisture is mostly gone. Set aside and let it start to cool.
Add cream cheese and Italian cheese to a bowl and stir until nice and creamy.
Place this in a bowl and then add in the sausage and mushrooms stems. Mix everything together.
Put the mushroom caps on the baking sheet and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Sprinkle with some salt.
Fill each mushroom cap with the sausage filling.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350º F.
Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
