Ingredients
1 pound hot or mild Italian sausage
1/4 cup red or yellow onion, minced
24 oz Mini Bella Mushrooms, whole and washed
3 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 cup Asiago or Parmesan cheese, shredded
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Using the Manual Food Processor put your onion in and press the lever until you get a minced texture. Add the onion to a large sauté pan with a tablespoon of olive or avocado oil. Begin sautéing over low to medium heat. While that is cooking remove the stems from your mushrooms and put the stems in your ManHal Food Processor. Using the small end of a Scoop n Loop, or a teaspoon, remove the gills and white spongey rim in your mushrooms. Place them in the Manual Food Processor with the stems. Press the lever until you get your desired texture, I like mine minced.
If your sausage has a casing, peel it off and place your sausage in the sauté pan with your onion. Using your Mix n Chop break up the sausage while it’s cooking, cook until no longer pink. Add your minced mushroom stems and gills to the sausage and onion. Add salt and pepper to taste, this will also help draw out moisture from your mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat for a few minutes until the moisture has been cooked out of your mush. Add your minced garlic, and spinach.
Remove your pan from the heat. You can combine your cream cheese and Asiago cheese in the pan, or dump mixture into a mixing bowl to throughly combine with a wooden spoon or mixer. Once thoroughly combined, use a small scoop or a teaspoon to fill your mushroom caps with the sausage and cheese mixture.
Place in your Air Fryer on the Air Fryer setting for 10-12 minutes or until mushrooms are softened. Do NOT overcook or your mushrooms will be soggy.
These can also be baked in your oven. Place your mushroom caps on a large sheet pan with a wire rack, and fill. The wire rack will keep your mushrooms from getting soggy. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until mushrooms are softened, don’t overcook them!
