Sausage And Cheese Filled Portobello Mushrooms Recipes

SAUSAGE-STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Brush any dirt from the outside of the mushrooms and using a teaspoon, carefully scrape the gills from inside the cap and discard. Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet.
• Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 2 teaspoons of the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Brush the mushrooms with the mixture, season with salt and pepper and roast them just until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and blot any accumulated liquid from inside the mushroom caps with a paper towel. Set aside
• While the mushrooms roast, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute additional. Add the sausage and continue cooking, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Add the remaining balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, provolone cheese and basil. Combine well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the sausage mixture between the 4 mushrooms caps, pressing the mixture gently with a spoon to form a mound. Return the mushrooms to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted throughout.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using your hands, lightly rub each portobello mushroom with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
• Cook the sausage in a medium skillet until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and mushroom stems and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• Transfer sausage-vegetable mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Add, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of Parmesan, 1/4 cup of parsley, the Essence, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and comes together slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the egg, and stir until well combined.
• Divide the filling among the mushroom caps, about 1/2 cup for each mushroom. Place the filled mushrooms on a baking sheet. Combine remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small mixing bowl. Divide the bread crumb mixture evenly among the tops of the mushrooms. Bake until golden brown on top and the mushrooms are tender, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with remaining tablespoon of parsley, drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SAUSAGE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place 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 the stems. Set the caps aside.
• Heat 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.
• To the skillet, add the mushroom stems, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook until the stems are softened, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the green onion, garlic, and Italian breadcrumbs. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, egg yolk, and Parmesan with a fork until smoothly combined.
• Fold in the sausage mixture.
• With 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).
• Bake 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.
• Transfer to a serving plate and let cool at least 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

PORTOBELLO STUFFED WITH SAUSAGE, SPINACH AND SMOKED MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush sausages and onion slices with olive oil and place on the grill. Cook until browned on all sides.
• Put the sausage and onion into a saute pan, add the wine and cook until the wine is completely reduced. While the wine is reducing, break up the sausage into small pieces. Add the spinach, 1/2 cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of the basil, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and the cheese and let cool slightly.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the mushroom caps on both sides with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill, top side down and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the grill and place on a flat surface, cap side down. Fill the mushrooms with the sausage mixture and top each with a few slices of tomato. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and place on the grill, cap side down, close the cover and cook until the mushroom and filling have heated through, the cheese has melted and the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle tops with the remaining parsley and basil.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS WITH MOZZARELLA CHEESE

Steps:

• Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of the potobello mushroom caps then sprinkle the inside lightly with salt (this is optional but I most always do!).
• In a skillet brown the sausage meat with green onions crumbling into very small pieces until browned; drain any fat then cool.
• In a medium bowl beat eggs with milk, fresh parsley, basil, fresh garlic, cayenne pepper or hot sauce until well combined.
• Add in the Parmesan cheese and the ground croutons starting with about 1-1/2 cups ground croutons, you might have to add in more later; mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
• Add in the cooked sausage/onion mixture; mix well (the mixture should be wet but still firm enough to hold together if the mixture is too soft add in a small amount more of the croutons at a time just until the mixture binds together).
• Season mixture with black pepper to taste.
• Spoon the sausage mixture evenly between the portobella mushroom tops.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the tops with grated mozzeralla cheese.
• Delicious!
