Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon salted butter
• 1/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
• 8 ounces hot Italian pork sausage
• 2 (8-ounce) packages sliced fresh cremini mushrooms, chopped (about 5 cups)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (from 3 medium garlic cloves)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (7-ounce) chive-and-onion cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
• 3 ounces low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3/4 cup), divided
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• Crostini for serving

Directions

Step 1: Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) with the rack positioned in the top third of the oven. Grease an 8- x 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they are evenly coated in the melted butter and become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a small bowl and set them aside. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.

Step 3: Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring frequently and breaking it into bite-size pieces with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and nearly cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4: Add the mushrooms, garlic, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms become soft and their moisture evaporates, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5: Stir in the sour cream, cream cheese, parsley, 1/4 cup of the mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese into the mushroom mixture until everything is fully combined and smooth.

Step 6: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Then, top with the reserved breadcrumbs.

Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling. Increase the oven temperature to broil (do not remove the baking dish from the oven) and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are deeply browned.

Step 9: Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve with crostini.
