Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Mushrooms
- 12 large cremini or portobello mushrooms
Crab Meat
- 8 oz fresh or canned crab meat
Cream Cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Garlic
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Green Onions
- 2 chopped green onions
Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems, creating a hollow space for the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, minced garlic, chopped green onions, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Generously spoon the crab mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to fill them completely.
- Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- Choose mushrooms that are firm and free from blemishes for the best results.
- Fill the mushrooms generously, but avoid overfilling as this can lead to spillage while baking.
- Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Consider adding additional cheese or herbs on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
- Keep an eye on them while baking, as different sizes of mushrooms may require slightly different cooking times.
