Pioneer Woman Stuffed Mushrooms with Creamy Filling
Ingredients
- 24 ounces white button mushrooms
- 1/3 pound hot pork sausage
- 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms by wiping them or rinsing briefly in cold water. Remove the stems and finely chop them. Set aside both the caps and chopped stems.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, brown and crumble the hot pork sausage over medium heat. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
- Sauté Aromatics and Mushroom Stems: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes until softened. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let the wine evaporate almost completely. Add the chopped mushroom stems to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and egg yolk until smooth. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Add the cooled cooked sausage and the cooled mushroom stem mixture to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Refrigerate the filling briefly to firm it up, making it easier to handle.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Take the mushroom caps and generously fill each cavity with the sausage and cheese mixture, creating a rounded mound on top of each mushroom.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the baked stuffed mushrooms cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Enjoy these Pioneer Woman Stuffed Mushrooms as a star appetizer at your next party or gathering! They are a guaranteed hit.
