Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large button or cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup Lump crabmeat
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

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 over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes, and then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed mushroom stems, parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until a uniform stuffing forms.

Step 5

Brush the outside of the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Carefully stuff each mushroom cap with the crab filling, pressing gently to ensure the stuffing stays in place.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
