• 1 pound (about 24) large fresh white mushrooms, cleaned
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 6 ounces bulk Italian sausage
• 3 green onions, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove stems from mushrooms; finely chop enough stems to equal 1/2 cup and reserve. Place mushroom caps in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange caps cavity side up on a shallow baking pan and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add sausage, green onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and reserved chopped mushroom stems. Sauté, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, for about 5 minutes and until the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and stir just until cheese melts. Stuff mushroom caps with sausage mixture and bake 10 to 15 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and cheese is slightly golden.
