With the teams for the Super Bowl now decided, it's time to start thinking about your snack menu for the big game day ahead. This one is a sure-fired crowd pleaser, combining spicy sausage with plump mushrooms. But here's the rub, they sure do go fast, so plan accordingly. :)
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
3 Italian hot sausages, casings removed
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1 large egg yolk
Olive oil
24 large mushrooms, stemmed
1/3 cup dry white wine
- Saute sausage and oregano in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sausage is cooked through and brown, breaking into small pieces. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage mixture to a large bowl to cool.
- Mix in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder, then cream cheese. Season filling with salt and pepper; mix in egg yolk.
- Brush glass baking dish with olive oil to coat.
- Brush cavity of each mushroom cap with white wine; fill with 1 Tbsp filling and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange mushrooms, filling side up in prepared dish. (Can be made a day ahead, cover and chill.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Baked uncovered until mushrooms are tender and filling is brown on top, about 25 minutes.
Notes:
This would also make an excellent appetizer for Thanksgiving Day, methinks.
