These mushrooms are incredible - and are a great dish to make ahead since they actually taste better once they've cooled, but can make a memorable side dish when served warm!

Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 
  

  2 packages white mushrooms

  
  


• 
  

  1/4 lb spicy chorizo (or hot Italian sausage, casing removed)

  
  


• 
  

  1 medium onion

  
  


• 
  

  4 tbsp garlic

  
  


• 
  

  5 tbsp white wine

  
  


• 
  

  1 egg yolk

  
  


• 
  

  4oz cream cheese (about half a block)

  
  


• 
  

  Parmesan cheese, grated or 'shaker' kind

  
  


• 
  

  salt and pepper, to taste

  
  

How to:

1. 
   

   Begin by washing and separating the mushroom tops from the stems, reserving the stems. Dry the mushroom tops and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350F.

   
   


2. 
   

   Finely chop the stems, onion, and garlic as you bring your half a block of cream cheese to room temperature.

   
   


3. 
   

   Toss your chorizo into a skillet on medium high heat. Brown until crumbly then remove from the pan and store in cool location.

   
   


4. 
   

   In the same pan, without cleaning, add your onions, mushrooms and garlic and stir until softened and browning slightly.

   
   


5. 
   

   Add wine one tablespoon at a time while stirring. Bring to a boil until the liquid has evaporated then remove from the heat and combine with cooling chorizo.

   
   


6. 
   

   In a small bowl, combine the yolk, softened cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese then mix into the cooled chorizo and stems blend. Stick the mixture into the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the cream cheese has firmed up.

   
   


7. 
   

   Once the cream cheese has firmed up the mix, use a spoon to smear the insides of the mushroom tops until overfull. In my opinion, the more stuffing, the better! As long as the weight is distributed evenly, pile it on!

   
   


8. 
   

   Sprinkle the tops with Parmesan cheese then place into the oven at 350F for 20-25 minutes.

   
   


9. 
   

   When the tops are nice and brown, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes - or even wait until they are just above room temperature, IF YOU CAN!

   
   


10. 
    

    EAT!
