Quick and Easy Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
-
4 ounces (114g) bulk hot Italian sausage or one 4-ounce link, casing removed
-
1 tablespoon (15ml) dry red wine (such as Pinot Noir)
-
2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced
-
2 teaspoons fresh minced thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon fresh minced oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt use half as much by volume
-
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
-
1/2 ounce (28g) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, (about 3 tablespoons), divided
-
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
12 large cremini mushrooms (12 ounces; 340g), cleaned and stems removed (see notes)
-
1 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs (1/4 ounce; 7g)
-
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
-
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425°F (220ºC). Brush bottom of a large (10- or 12-inch) cast iron skillet with 1 teaspoon oil; set aside. In a large bowl, mix the sausage, wine, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, red pepper (if using), 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano, and remaining 1 teaspoon of the oil until well combined.
-
Spoon about 2 teaspoons sausage mixture into each mushroom cap; place mushrooms in skillet in even layer, stuffed side up. Sprinkle filled mushrooms evenly with panko and remaining 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano.
-
Bake until topping is golden brown, mushrooms are tender, and a thermometer inserted into filling registers at least 160°F (70℃), 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a large serving plate. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
Look for cremini mushrooms that are consistent in size, about 1 3/4 to 2 inches in diameter.
This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in one batch on a rimmed baking sheet or in 2 batches in a large cast iron skillet.
The sausage mixture can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container. When ready to prepare mushrooms, proceed with step 2 as directed, adding 3 to 4 additional minutes when cooking.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.
