Ingredients

• 16 pieces (large) white button mushrooms
• 1 cup lump crab meat
• 1 cup (thawed and squeezed dry) frozen chopped spinach
• 4 oz (softened) cream cheese
• 0.3333 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 stalks (finely chopped) green onions
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup (panko preferred) breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp (freshly squeezed) lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a small spoon to gently hollow out the caps if needed, creating space for the filling. Set the prepared caps aside.

Step 3

Chop the mushroom stems finely and set them aside.

Step 4

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, minced garlic, and green onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, thawed spinach, lump crab meat, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine into a creamy filling.

Step 6

Spoon the filling into the prepared mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.

Step 8

Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
