Ingredients
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 24 medium-sized cremini mushrooms, stems removed and chopped
- 1 7-oz. tube ground soy "sausage"
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F (unless making ahead). Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushroom stems, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Break “sausage” into small pieces, add to skillet and brown 10 minutes, stirring often. Transfer mixture to food processor, and coarsely chop. Add breadcrumbs and pesto, and pulse until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff into mushrooms, slightly mounding tops.
