Ingredients
- 6 sausages
- 8.8 oz champignon mushrooms
- 1 clove garlic
- 1.1 oz scamorza cheese
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- to taste pepper
- to taste salt
How to Make Mushroom Stuffed Sausages
Clean the mushrooms, slice them, then cook them in a pan with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic.
With the pan over medium-high heat, salt and pepper them and continue to cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Take the sausages and make a cut in the middle without cutting all the way through.
At this point, stuff the pocket created with the previously prepared mushrooms and bake in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with grated cheese, then return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
Serve your sausages hot and gooey.
Storage and Tips for Mushroom Stuffed Sausages
The mushroom stuffed sausages can be stored in the refrigerator until the next day in an airtight container. I used scamorza cheese, but you can substitute it with other cheeses of your choice such as provolone, Emmental, or simply grated Parmesan or Pecorino.
