Mushrooms are releasing too much liquid.
Pat the mushrooms dry before filling and bake on a wire rack to allow air circulation.
Filling is too dry.
Add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the filling to moisten it.
Chef's Notes
For easier stuffing, finely chop the cooked sausage and mix it thoroughly with the cream cheese before filling the mushroom caps.
Wipe mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth instead of washing to prevent them from absorbing excess water.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
Stuff the mushroom caps up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
