Ingredients

  • 16 large mushrooms
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 6 ounces crab meat drained, 1 can, or frozen
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Topping
  • ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Thaw crab meat if frozen (drain if canned). Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Mix cream cheese until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  3. Wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any debris. Using a small spoon or tomato corer, remove stems and spoon out the insides of the mushroom. Discard (or freeze for soup).
  4. Divide the filling over the mushroom caps. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over mushrooms.
  5. Bake 18-20 minutes or until cooked through and tops are golden.

Notes

  • If desired, mix the cream cheese with a hand mixer to get a light fluffy filling. Additional cheeses can be added, cheddar and Gruyere are great options.
  • Mushrooms can be stuffed and refrigerated 24 hours in advance and baked just before serving. They can also be frozen and cooked right from frozen (you'll need to add about 10 min of cooking time).
  • Reserve the mushroom stems and chop them to add to soups, stews, or casseroles.
