Method
 

How to Make Stuffed Mushroom Eyeballs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems, setting the caps aside. Finely chop the stems for the filling.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems with softened cream cheese, cooked sausage (or bacon), grated Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Fill each mushroom cap with the savory filling, pressing down to pack them well.
  5. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each for even cooking.
  6. Press a small olive into the center of each stuffed mushroom cap.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and filling is bubbly and golden.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving on a platter.
