Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Hollow out the caps slightly to make space for the filling.
Brush the mushroom caps lightly with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet, open side up.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, green onions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.

Step 3: Stuff the Mushrooms

Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.

Step 4: Bake the Mushrooms

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

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Choose Large Mushrooms: Ensure the mushrooms are big enough to hold the filling.
Avoid Overstuffing: Too much filling can cause the mushrooms to collapse during baking.
Use Fresh Crab Meat: If possible, fresh crab meat adds the best flavor.
