Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large portabella mushrooms
- 8 ounces fresh crab meat
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the portabella mushrooms by gently removing the stems and scraping out the gills with a spoon. Wipe the caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
Lightly brush the mushroom caps with olive oil on both sides and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cap side down.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill each mushroom cap generously with the crab mixture, pressing it down gently to mound the stuffing securely.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the mushroom caps are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
