📝 Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
  • 1 large shallot, finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 lb. medium pork sausage
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped chopped fresh spinach
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 20-25 baby bella mushrooms
  • 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella
  • chives

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. 2Carefully remove stems from all the mushrooms. Finely chop the mushrooms stems and set aside. {HINT!!! To the mushrooms caps themselves, thinly slice the bottom to give yourself a “steady base” for the mushroom. This will help it not fall over when you stuff them.}
  3. 3Heat a large saute pan to medium high heat.
  4. 4Add grape seed oil and shallots. Sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add in garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring the entire time.
  5. 5Add in chopped up mushrooms stems. Saute for 3 minutes, stirring throughout.
  6. 6Next, to the pan add in sausage. Sauté until sauté is browned, about 5-6 minutes, breaking up sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon the entire time.
  7. 7Once sausage is browned add in oregano, parsley and fresh spinach. Stir to mix and saute until spinach is wilted down. Remove from heat.
  8. 8Add sausage mixture to a small bowl along with cream cheese. Using a spatula mix everything together. Set aside.
  9. 9On a baking sheet, line up prepared mushrooms (with the hole facing up).
  10. 10Using a small spoon, stuffed each mushroom with the filling. (depending on the size of your mushrooms you may need to add more to use up the remaining filling)
  11. 11Bake for 40 minutes, until slightly browned.
  12. 12Remove from oven top each mushrooms with tiny amounts of mozzarella cheese.
  13. 13Garnish with chives.
  14. 14Serve warm!
