-
4 oz smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon marjoram

1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling:
-
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled sausage, shredded smoked Gouda, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, marjoram, Herbs de Provence, and kosher salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

-
Prepare the Mushrooms:
-
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Remove the stems from the mushrooms, creating a hollow center for the filling. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.
-
-
Stuff the Mushrooms:
-
Carefully stuff each mushroom cap with the sausage and smoked Gouda filling, packing it in slightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
-
-
Grill the Mushrooms:
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the mushroom caps with extra virgin olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
-
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the grill, gill side up, and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.

-
Serve:
-
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes
-
You can use any type of sausage you prefer, such as Italian sausage, turkey sausage, or pork sausage.
-
For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and replace it with a mixture of sautéed vegetables and herbs.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also bake the stuffed mushrooms at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
