3. Remove the sausage from the casing and cook with a tablespoon of grapeseed oil in a skillet set over medium high heat. Use a spatula to break up the meat, and cook for about 5 minutes, until fully cooked through and brown.
4. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, the cooked sausage, parsley, parmesan cheese, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Place the stemmed mushrooms on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place 2 teaspoon scoops of the sausage filling into each mushroom cap.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the stuffing has browned.
SERVING:
