BAKED STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH SAUSAGE AND MOZZARELLA

Category: Stuffed Mushrooms

1 lb (about 24) large fresh white mushrooms, cleaned
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
6 oz bulk Italian sausage
3 green onions, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 400. Remove stems from mushrooms; finely chop enough stems to equal 1/2 cup and reserve. Place mushroom caps in a bowl and toss with 1 tbsp oil. Arrange caps cavity side up on a shallow baking pan and set aside.

Heat remaining oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add sausage, green onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and reserved chopped mushroom stems. Saute, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, for about 5 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and stir just until cheese melts.

Stuff mushroom caps with sausage mixture and bake 10 to 15 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and cheese is slightly golden
