Creamy sausage stuffed mushrooms will be the most popular appetizer at your next party. Make this recipe in advance for easy entertaining!

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

whole baby bella mushrooms ((look

extra virgin olive oil

Italian turkey sausage

sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

salt

black pepper

green onions (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

breadcrumbs

cream cheese (softened

Parmesan cheese

fresh parsley

Chop

Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With a paper towel, wipe off the outsides of mushrooms. Remove and finely chop the stems. Set the caps aside.

Brown

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Brown the sausage until cooked through, using a sturdy spoon to break apart the meat into small pieces (sausage is kind of a pain to break into small pieces—once I have the pieces fairly small, sometimes I use a potato masher to split them further). This will take about 8 minutes.

Cook

To the skillet, add the mushroom stems, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook until the stems are softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir

Stir in the green onion, garlic, and Italian breadcrumbs. Set aside to cool.

Parmesan

In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, egg yolk, and Parmesan with a fork until smoothly combined.

Fold

Fill

With a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap so that you create a mound on top. Arrange in a baking dish large enough to hold them snugly in a single layer (they will touch at the edges).

Bake

Bake the stuffed mushrooms until browned and the filling is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Some liquid may seep out; simply leave it behind in the pan.

Serve

Transfer to a serving plate and let cool at least 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Savory Pumpkin Crostini. Toasted baguette topped with a  rich and creamy pumpkin, goat cheese, and cream cheese spread. One of the best holiday appetizers!

Pumpkin Goat Cheese Crostini

olive oil

(10-ounce) sourdough baguette

goat cheese (softened to room temperature)

pumpkin puree

maple syrup

cinnamon

cranberries

pumpkin seeds

sage

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. For easy cleanup, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Lightly brush the olive oil over both sides of each baguette slice. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, then flip and continue baking on the other side until lightly golden and lightly crisp, about 5 additional minutes. Set aside to cool.

While the toasts bake, in a mixing bowl, beat together the goat cheese, cream cheese, pumpkin, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
