Preparing the Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently remove the stems from the mushrooms. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Making the Filling

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Stuffing the Mushrooms

Spoon the sausage mixture into the mushroom caps, packing it firmly. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking the Mushrooms

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
