Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large white mushrooms
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems by twisting them off, leaving space for the filling. Reserve 4–5 stems and mince them finely.
In a medium bowl, mix together the lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped green onions, minced mushroom stems, dried parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Lightly grease a baking dish or baking tray with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spoon the crab filling into the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly. Arrange the filled mushrooms on the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the filled mushrooms.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil lightly over the mushrooms for added moisture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Let the mushrooms cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
