2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

If you are baking mushrooms immediately, preheat toaster oven to 425°F. Line
the baking pan with foil, brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Clean and dry mushrooms. Remove stems, reserving caps and chop stems
finely.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add chopped mush-
rooms, shallot, garlic, and herbs to the pan and cook over medium heat until all
liquid is given up, about 5 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs and cook for 2 to 3
minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool. When completely cooled, stir in sausage
and cheese. Stuff each mushroom with a portion of the sausage mixture,
mounding and pressing down. Mushrooms may be done ahead to this point –
cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Arrange mushrooms evenly spaced in prepared pan.
