Ingredients
- 20 cremini mushrooms or baby bell mushrooms
- 8 ounces crab meat lump
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons shallot finely diced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ¼ cup parsley plus more for garnish, finely chopped, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep mushrooms. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°F). Grease a baking sheet with a little olive oil. Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Discard the stems or save and freeze them to add to a future soup recipe!
- Make the filling. In a large mixing bowl, add the crab meat, cream cheese, shallot, parmesan (reserve 1 tablespoon), and parsley. Stir until well combined.
- Stuff the mushrooms. Fill the mushroom caps with the crab filling, and evenly sprinkle the tops with the reserved parmesan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mushrooms are slightly soft. Garnish with extra parsley to serve.

Notes
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to avoid soggy mushrooms by letting juices drip away during baking.
- Save mushroom stems for future use in soups or stocks if not discarded.
