Instructions


Wipe dirt or debris off the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Cut off the stem of the mushroom close to the cap (save, chop, and add them to the stuffing) and scrape away the inside gills with a spoon.
Place the cleaned mushrooms in a cast iron skillet, gill side up, and bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. (see Recipe Tips)


Pour out any excess water that is in the caps or skillet. Set aside.


While the mushroom caps are roasting, prep the other ingredients. Chop the onion, mushroom stems, sun-dried tomatoes, and thyme.
Grate the Parmesan cheese and slice the brie cheese.


Heat a large fry pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and let it heat up. Saute onions until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two.
Add the ground sausage and cook until browned.


In a large bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk an egg. Pour the egg into the breadcrumb mixture and stir until everything is coated.


Combine the sausage mixture with the breadcrumb mixture and stir well.


Spoon the stuffing mixture into the roasted portobello mushrooms, dividing equally among the caps.
Divide the sliced brie cheese and basil to top the stuffed mushrooms. (see Recipe Tips)

Place in oven and bake.

Transfer to a plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Serve warm.

Recipe Tips
- Roasting large portobello mushrooms before stuffing them makes them richer in taste, helps soften them, and releases a lot of water which can make the stuffing soggy.
- For extra flavor, stir in a little of the jarred sun-dried tomato oil with the chopped basil before placing it on top of the brie cheese.
How To Store
Place any leftover stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
How To Reheat
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring the mushrooms to room temperature. Place them on a sheet pan or baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Reheat for 10-15 minutes or until fully heated.
