Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Begin by cleaning the champignon mushrooms. Carefully cut off the earthy part at the base of the stems. If the mushrooms are particularly dirty, rinse them briefly under cold water—just enough to remove any dirt. Be cautious as mushrooms absorb water quickly, which can affect their texture. Once cleaned, gently separate the caps from the stems without breaking them. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

2. Prepare the Filling: Peel the sausage casing and crumble the sausage into small pieces. Chop the provola cheese into small cubes. Finely chop the mushroom stems.

3. Cook the Sausage: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan along with a smashed garlic clove. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and the finely chopped rosemary. Stir occasionally to mix the flavors together. Once the sausage is cooked through and fragrant, remove from heat.

4. Stuff the Mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) in static mode. Lightly oil and salt the mushroom caps, placing them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Stuff each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture, ensuring the filling is well-packed. Sprinkle grated Grana Padano cheese over the top of each stuffed mushroom.

5. Bake: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown. For the final 5 minutes, switch to grill mode to help brown and crisp the cheese on top.

6. Serve: Once done, remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These mushrooms are best served warm, and they make for a delightful appetizer or side dish.
