- 2 loaves French Baguettes
- 24 ounces, weight Mushrooms
- 12 ounces, weight Basil And Tomato Feta Cheese
- 1 pound Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
- 1 bottle (12 Oz. Bottle) Cardini's Caesar Dressing
- 1 teaspoon Pepperoncini, Or To Taste
- Any Leftover Mushroom Filling
- Leftover Feta, If Any
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 whole Egg
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Tear up 3/4 of one of the baguettes into small pieces and place in a baking pan.
- Toast for 10 minutes or just until crisp.
- Pulse in a blender until they are roughly chopped, not fine.
- Clean your mushrooms.
- Then remove the stems and hollow out your mushroom (be careful not to go too deep).
- Place in two glass baking dishes.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix sausage, feta cheese (you may not use all of it), all of the Cardinis Caesar dressing, pepperoncini, and half of the toasted bread crumbs.
- Mix well.
- Add more bread crumbs as needed.
- Your mix should resemble thick, pink oatmeal.
- Use a teaspoon to stuff your mushrooms.
- Stuff them at no higher than an inch above the mushrooms rim.
- Make sure that they are rounded, not flat.
- (You will have some leftover stuffing.)
- Cover your baking dish with foil and bake your mushrooms at 350 degrees for 25- 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake until golden and bubbly, about 2 to 3 minutes at most.
- You can make a dip to go with your mushrooms, using any leftover filling.
- This works well for those in your party who do not like mushrooms.
- To make the dip, take your leftover stuffing, add the remainder of feta (if you have any), cream cheese, and egg.
- Mix well.
- Place in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Serve with toasted baguettes.
