- 1 tablespoon ground fennel seed

Instructions

- Stir in remaining ingredients, mix well; taste to adjust the seasoning.
- Allow sausage mixture to cool for 5 min. (can be prepped up to this point & held).
- To order: Stuff each mushroom cap (mound the filling a bit) with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture.
- Sprinkle a small amount of the mozzarella over the stuffing.
- Bake in hot oven at 400 to 450 F about 5 min.
- Or place the mushroom under the broiler until the cheese is melted and drapes over the side of the mushroom.
