Ina Garten Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Ina Garten Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms recipe

Ina Garten’s sausage-stuffed mushrooms are an appetizer made by filling large mushroom caps with a mixture of sausage, scallions, garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and cream cheese. The dish is baked until golden and bubbling, giving each bite a satisfying mix of crispy top and creamy center. It’s one of Ina’s go-to appetizers—and for good reason.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 large white mushrooms, stems removed and wiped clean

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • ¾ pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed

  • ½ cup minced green onions (scallions)

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • ⅓ cup dry white wine

  • ¾ cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

  • 5 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms

  • Clean and prep the mushrooms by removing stems and wiping the caps clean with a damp paper towel.

  • Brush with oil and place them cavity-side up on a baking sheet.

Cook the Sausage Filling

  • Sauté sausage in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until fully browned.

  • Add scallions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Deglaze with wine, scraping up browned bits, and let it reduce for 2–3 minutes.

Mix the Filling

  • Transfer sausage mixture to a bowl and cool slightly.

  • Stir in breadcrumbs, cream cheese, Parmesan, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Mushrooms

  • Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap.

  • Drizzle remaining oil lightly over the tops for a golden finish.

Bake Until Golden

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake mushrooms for 25–30 minutes or until tops are browned and bubbling.

Serve Warm

  • Arrange on a platter and garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
