Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gently clean the baby Bella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel, then remove the stems and chop them for the filling.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the cleaned mushroom caps upside down in a greased baking dish.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add Italian sausage, and cook until browned. Drain excess grease, then add chopped mushroom stems and shallots, sautéing until translucent.
  4. Transfer the sausage mixture to a bowl, let cool, then mix in cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese along with parsley.
  5. Pack the filling into each mushroom cap, pressing slightly. Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter for the topping.
  6. Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden. Broil for an extra minute for crispiness if desired.
  7. Let mushrooms cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
