Ingredients
- •Mushrooms, Cremini(907g)
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Turkey Breakfast Sausage(454g)
- •Sherry, Dry(8g)
- •1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Green Onion (Scallion)
- •Garlic(120g)
- •Bread Crumbs, Dry, Plain(60g)
- •Cream Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat (Neufchatel)(113g)
Standard block cream cheese. Neufchatel (1/3 less fat) is a good swap.
- •Egg Yolk
- •Parmesan Cheese(160g)
Grated Parmesan — the shelf-stable canister is fine for cooking.
- •Parsley, Fresh
Instructions
- 1Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With a paper towel, wipe off the outsides of mushrooms. Remove and finely chop stems. Set the caps aside.
- 2Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Brown the sausage until cooked through, using a sturdy spoon to break apart the meat into small pieces (sausage is kind of a pain to break into small pieces—once I have the pieces fairly small, sometimes I use a potato masher to split them further). This will take about 8 minutes.
- 3To the skillet, add the mushroom stems, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook until the stems are softened, about 4 minutes.
- 4Stir in the green onion, garlic, and Italian breadcrumbs. Set aside to cool.
- 5In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, egg yolk, and Parmesan with a fork until smoothly combined.
- 6Fold in the sausage mixture.
- 7With a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap so that you create a mound on top. Arrange in a baking dish large enough to hold them snugly in a single layer (they will touch at the edges).
- 8Bake the stuffed mushrooms until browned and the filling is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Some liquid may seep out; simply leave it behind in the pan.
- 9Transfer to a serving plate and let cool at least 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
