Description
Cheesy low carb Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms, the perfect keto appetizer! Made with only 7 real food ingredients, these stuffed mushrooms are bursting with flavor from mild Italian sausage, fresh garlic and parsley, and melty cream cheese and parmesan, baked brown and bubbly.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms (About 20)
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage (I get my ground Italian sausage here)
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- a few sprigs Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- De-stem mushrooms and finely chop the stems.
- To a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add chopped mushroom stems, Italian sausage and garlic. Cook until sausage is browned and cooked through. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ¼ cup of the Parmesan cheese, and the parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Once the sausage has cooled, add it to the cream cheese mixture. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Spoon heaping mounds of the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap. Bake on middle rack for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese over the top of mushrooms. Broil on high 3 to 5 minutes, or until Parmesan is a nice golden brown.
- Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- net carbs per serving: 5.8g
- To keep the mushrooms from falling over, I like to bake them on a mini muffin pan. The individual well hold mushrooms upright perfectly.
