The filling is where these mushrooms earn their keep: Italian sausage folded into cream cheese with spinach, Parmesan and garlic salt, then piled back into buttered caps. The cream cheese holds everything together while the Parmesan browns on top. Fifteen pieces — appetizer math that rarely produces leftovers.
