Stuffed Mushrooms





Stuffed Mushrooms


Little Apps

Little stuffed mushrooms made with Italian sausage is a simple appetizer that can be served to your guests and family. Make them early or the day before and refrigerate them until your ready to broil.

I normally use baby Portobello mushrooms for this recipe but you can use small button mushrooms just the same. You can use my recipe or stuff them with a variety of different ingredients. I like combining the sausage with parmesan cheese, prosciutto and chopped tomatoes. I have another recipe for risotto stuffed Portobello which works great as a side dish. I’ll put that one under the “Vegetable Recipes” section.

This little stuffed mushrooms appetizer is great for parties. Just make enough because they go fast. For a family of four a dozen is fine. For a party I would make at least two to three dozen.
