Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large white button mushrooms
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Carefully clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and save them for the filling.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems and garlic mixture with the lump crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Spoon the crab mixture evenly into the mushroom caps, slightly mounding it on top.
Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the stuffed mushrooms to create a crispy topping.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
