Ingredients
- 15 extra-large white mushrooms, caps and stems separated
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 pound chorizo sausage
- 3/4 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (6 scallions)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2-3 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup panko bread flakes
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2½ tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Trim the mushroom stems and chop them finely. Set aside. Place the mushroom caps in a shallow bowl and spray with cooking spray making sure you cover the top and bottom of the mushroom. Set aside. Space out the mushroom caps evenly on a baking sheet, upside down and bake it for 2 mins. Take it out of the oven and turn them around so the other side gets brown as well, bake it for another 2 mins. Set aside.

Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for a minute; now add the sausage, crumbling it as you sauté it. Cook the sausage for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it’s completely browned. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in the scallions, salt, pepper, and cilantro and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take it off the heat and cool slightly. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage mixture and then bread crumbs on top of each mushroom. Top each mushroom with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese making sure it’s fully covered. Bake for 20 minutes until the stuffing is browned and crusty and the cheese is melted and gooey. Enjoy!
Note
- Make sure you have a large baking dish that is enough to hold all the mushrooms in a snug single layer.
- Make sure the casings are removed from the sausage.
I love this recipe because of the combination of the ingredients that I used. Garlic, scallions, parmesan cheese, cilantro, and breadcrumbs what a mix match, mouthwatering! It is very hard to stop eating them! They are a great option when you are entertaining as they can be prepped ahead of time.
Do you know mushrooms are one of the most health-promoting foods on the planet? Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins- niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid. Niacin is good for the digestive system and for healthy skin. Riboflavin is good for red blood cells. They are low in calories and high in fiber, protein and Vitamin C.
