Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Stuffed Mushroom Eyeballs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and twist off the stems, setting aside for later use.
  3. Combine chopped mushroom stems, cream cheese, cooked sausage or bacon, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  4. Stuff each mushroom cap with the prepared filling, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  5. Grease a baking sheet and arrange the stuffed mushrooms, spacing them about an inch apart.
  6. Press a small olive into the center of each stuffed mushroom for decoration.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and filling is bubbling.
  8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm.
