Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large button mushrooms
• 1 cup Lump crab meat
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet, thawed
• 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for rolling pastry)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Discard the stems or save them for another use.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create a creamy crab filling.

Step 4

Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the prepared crab filling, slightly mounding it on top.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the puff pastry into 12 equal squares, roughly 3x3 inches each.

Step 6

Place a stuffed mushroom cap in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry up over the filling, pinching them together to seal.

Step 7

Arrange the wrapped mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side up. Brush the tops and sides of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, shiny finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms En Croute cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a decadent appetizer, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
