Sausage and mushrooms are perfect companions and pair them with garlic and fennel…it becomes a snack your guests will find hard to say no to. The thing with this recipe is not to be too concerned with exact amounts. Add more cheese if that ‘floats your boat’ or more garlic or hot Italian sausage instead of mild. You get the picture. Experiment with flavors you enjoy and serve these sausage stuffed mushroom caps at your next soirée.
medium-sized mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
1/4 cup or more of fontina cheese, coarsely grated
hot Italian sausage, squeezed out of their casings
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons fennel seed
balsamic vinegar
2. In a bowl combine cheese, sausage, garlic and fennel seed.
3. Brush insides of mushrooms with balsamic vinegar and place a tablespoon or so of the sausage mixture.
4. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
The Culinary Chase’s Note: These were so darn scrumptious! These mushrooms were perfect for three bites (ok, maybe 2) although you could go smaller but then you wouldn’t be able to savor the taste as well. You be the judge and let me know. Enjoy!
