This is an easy, yet elegant and delicious appetizer.  The entire ingredient list is: Cremini mushrooms, a hot Sicilian sausage, blue cheese crumbles, and optional parsley. One sausage will make anywhere from ten to twenty stuffed mushrooms. The fewer mushrooms you make, the more likely you will have left-over stuffing mix; this is a good thing as the mix is excellent in scrambled eggs the next day.

The number of mushrooms is entirely variable; if for a party appetizer, at least four per person, and one sausage to every 20 mushrooms (or fewer).

• Rinse and drain the mushrooms; then carefully remove the stems, leaving the caps intact.
• Mince the stems; remove the skin from the sausage(s); combine the minced stems and sausage meat in a skillet, and cook over medium-high heat until browned – add a touch of minced parsley at this point if desired; set aside until cool enough to work with;
• Fill the mushroom cps with mixture; top with crumbled blue cheese;
• Bake at 400°f for about six minutes; then put under a hot broiler until the cheese is slightly browned.

They are ready to serve. Fantastic, and a crowd pleaser.
