SAUSAGE-STUFFED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS WITH MOZZARELLA CHEESE

Steps:

• Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of the potobello mushroom caps then sprinkle the inside lightly with salt (this is optional but I most always do!).

• In a medium bowl beat eggs with milk, fresh parsley, basil, fresh garlic, cayenne pepper or hot sauce until well combined.
• Add in the Parmesan cheese and the ground croutons starting with about 1-1/2 cups ground croutons, you might have to add in more later; mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
• Add in the cooked sausage/onion mixture; mix well (the mixture should be wet but still firm enough to hold together if the mixture is too soft add in a small amount more of the croutons at a time just until the mixture binds together).
• Season mixture with black pepper to taste.
• Spoon the sausage mixture evenly between the portobella mushroom tops.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.
