Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Large button mushrooms
- 1 cup Lump crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs, plain
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems, lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until evenly combined.
Spoon the crab filling into the mushroom caps, mounding the mixture slightly.
Arrange the stuffed mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle additional breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan on top, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
