Ingredients
- 12 ounces crab meat drained, canned, lump
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup green onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 24 button mushrooms stems removed and cleaned, large
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crab meat and softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth.
- Add the panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, finely chopped green onions, chopped parsley, and shredded parmesan cheese to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
- Season the crab mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the lemon juice for a hint of acidity and stir to blend the flavors evenly.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the prepared crab mixture. Mound the filling slightly above the top of each mushroom to ensure a generous portion.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the stuffed mushrooms evenly.
- Melt the butter and drizzle it over the top of the stuffed mushrooms. This will help them brown nicely and add richness to the flavor.
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra parmesan cheese over the top of the stuffed mushrooms for a cheesy crust.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
- Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
