Ingredients
  

For the Mushroom Caps
  • 16 large white or cremini mushrooms The ideal base for holding the creamy filling; substitute with portobello for a heartier bite.
For the Creamy Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened; low-fat cream cheese is a lighter alternative.
  • 1/2 cup cooked sausage or crumbled bacon.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Pecorino cheese is a great substitute.
  • 1 clove garlic minced.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped; dried parsley works in a pinch.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper feel free to adjust based on your spice preference.
For the Spooky Touch
  • 16 small olives pitted, for “pupils”.
For Baking
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing; you can use butter for a richer flavor.
