INGREDIENTS

4 links spicy Italian sausage ; (or mild)
1 lb. whole white mushrooms ; medium size (1-2 inches diameter)
2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper ; (if using mild sausage)
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup shredded Fontina or mozzarella cheese
Preheat ; the broiler to 450 degrees.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the casing from the sausages. Break them into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking the sausage into small pieces with a kitchen fork, until they begin to brown.

2. Add the crushed red pepper, oregano, and salt. Add 1/2 cup of water, turn the sausage and continue to break up the pieces until all the pink is gone. Add more water if necessary to keep the pan from drying out.

3. Add the bread crumbs and mix in well. Again, add a little more water to keep the mixture from being very dry. (It should not be very wet, either.) Remove from the heat.

4. While the sausage is cooking, remove the stems from the mushrooms. Slice off a sliver the size of a penny from the top of the mushroom cap to make a flat area.

5. While the sausage mixture is still warm, use a teaspoon to stuff the bottom of each mushroom. Pile as much stuffing on as will stay in place, with some perhaps crumbling off. Place the mushrooms stuffing side up on a baking pan. Top with a generous pinch (again, as much as you can get to stay put) on top of the stuffing.

6. Broil until the cheese melts and begins to brown. Remove and serve very hot.

Makes about 24 stuffed mushrooms.
