Stuffed Mushrooms

These stuffed mushrooms are perfect for an appetizer or vegetable with your dinner. You can change the ingredients according to what you have in your fridge--- you can use any kind of cheese you have- feta, swiss, parmesan, goat cheese and even cheddar.  I sometimes add sun-dried tomatoes and walnuts, too. Have fun getting creative!

Stuffed Mushrooms

6 medium cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stalks removed (chop stalks to add to filling)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 turkey sausage, removed from casing and crumbled
1/4 cup shredded gruyere and swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil, spray with olive oil spray and place mushrooms cap side down. Bake for 15 minutes while you make filling.
In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add shallots until softened. Add turkey sausage until cooked through and then add the the chopped garlic clove and stalks from the mushrooms. Saute for 2 minutes.

Take mushrooms out of oven, flip over, sprinkle insides with salt and pepper and fill with filling. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake for 15 more minutes until cheese is bubbling on top.
