Ingredients

• 16 pieces large white mushrooms
• 8 ounces cooked lump crab meat
• 6 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove the stems. Set aside the caps and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic until tender, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom stems, crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture, mounding slightly on top.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture generously over the stuffed mushrooms.

Step 7

Arrange the stuffed mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
