Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large mushrooms (such as white button or cremini)
• 1 cup Lump crab meat
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.33 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons Chopped green onions
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the chopped mushroom stems. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 4

To the mixing bowl, add the lump crab meat, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 5

Fill each mushroom cap generously with the crab mixture, slightly mounding the filling on top.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil. Lightly sprinkle this mixture over the stuffed mushrooms for a crispy topping.

Step 7

Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with paprika if desired for added color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
