Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Clean the mushrooms under cool running water and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems for the filling.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped mushroom stems with cream cheese, sausage or bacon, Parmesan, garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Fill each mushroom cap with the mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it stays in place.
  5. Place the stuffed mushrooms on the baking sheet and gently press a small olive into the center of each.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and filling is golden brown.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving on a platter.
