Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 lb bulk sausage, cooked and crumbled, fat drained
- 4 oz smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Mushroom and Cooking Ingredients
- 12 large white mushrooms
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled sausage, shredded smoked Gouda, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, marjoram, Herbs de Provence, and kosher salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Remove the stems from the mushrooms to create a hollow center for the filling. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Carefully stuff each mushroom cap with the sausage and smoked Gouda filling, packing it in slightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
- Grill the Mushrooms: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the mushroom caps with extra virgin olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Stuffed Mushrooms: Place the stuffed mushrooms on the grill, gill side up, and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the grill and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Be careful not to overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking.
- Use gloves or a spoon to stuff the mushrooms to avoid burns.
- You can add chopped mushroom stems to the filling mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with cooked and seasoned plant-based protein or chopped vegetables.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
