Chef's Tip
Prep these ahead of time and just pop them in the oven or on your grill when you’re ready to eat!
Directions:
- Soak grilling planks in warm water for at least 15 minutes and preheat oven to 350˚ F.
- Pop the mushrooms stems out of the caps and dice the stems, set aside. Toss the mushroom caps with a few tablespoons of olive oil and set aside.
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the sausage, 8-10 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook a few minutes longer followed by the chopped green onion, garlic, s & p for a few more minutes until everything is fragrant.
- Stir the panko and cream cheese into the sausage mix, stir until the cream cheese melts down and things look creamy.
- Remove from heat, mix in parmesan and parsley.
- Generously fill each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture and arrange on your soaked planks.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until done.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
