1 lb Highline Whole mushrooms

1 tsp olive oil

6 oz hot Italian sausage, casing removed

½ cup bread crumbs

2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

4 cloves garlic, chopped finely

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Wipe mushrooms to remove any particles. Remove and chop stems (reserve for filling).
• Place mushrooms gill-side-down on lightly oiled baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes to allow liquid to release. Remove from oven.
• In meantime, add oil to skillet over medium heat and brown sausage (approx. 7-8 min). Place in medium mixing bowl. Add bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Melt butter in skillet. Add onions, mushroom stems, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook until tender (approx. 4-5 min).
