Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, remove the stems and chop them.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped mushroom stems, cream cheese, sausage or bacon, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy.
- Fill each mushroom cap generously with the creamy filling, packing it in gently.
- Place one pitted olive in the center of each stuffed cap to create the pupils.
- Arrange stuffed mushrooms on the greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm on a platter, possibly with marinara sauce.

These stuffed mushroom eyeballs are best enjoyed fresh but can last at room temperature for up to 2 hours. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Unbaked mushrooms can be frozen for 2 months.
