Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Small spoon or melon baller (for easy stuffing)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large mushrooms: Choose firm evenly-sized mushrooms like cremini or white button.
  • 1/2 lb crabmeat: Use fresh or canned crabmeat making sure it’s well-drained.
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs: Panko works great for a light texture.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese: Soften it for easy mixing.
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise: Adds extra creaminess to the filling.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice: Brightens up the flavors.
  • 1 tbsp parsley: Chopped fresh parsley adds a hint of herbal freshness.
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning: A must for any crab dish!
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese: For that golden cheesy topping.

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prep the Mushrooms
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet.
  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms, creating a cavity for the filling.
  • Step 2: Make the Filling
  • In a mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Step 3: Stuff the Mushrooms
  • Use a small spoon or melon baller to fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture. Press lightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
  • Step 4: Add the Topping
  • Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed mushrooms with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Step 5: Bake
  • Place the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden.
  • Step 6: Serve
  • Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
