  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 24 stuffed mushrooms (serves 8 as an appetizer)

Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

  • 12 ounces canned lump crab meat, drained
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Mushrooms

  • 24 large button mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crab meat and softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Ingredients to Filling: Add the panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, finely chopped green onions, chopped parsley, and shredded parmesan cheese to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  4. Season Mixture: Season the crab mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the lemon juice for a hint of acidity and stir well to blend the flavors.
  5. Stuff Mushrooms: Using a spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the prepared crab mixture. Mound the filling slightly above the top of each mushroom to ensure a generous portion.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed mushrooms evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded for even baking.
  7. Add Butter and Cheese: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the stuffed mushrooms to help them brown nicely and add richness. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your savory crab stuffed mushrooms!

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the canned crab meat to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • You can prepare the stuffing mixture a few hours ahead and refrigerate before filling the mushrooms.
  • If fresh parsley is unavailable, dried parsley can be used but reduce the quantity by half.
  • These stuffed mushrooms make a great appetizer for holidays and gatherings.
