Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 12 medium to large white button or cremini mushrooms

Crab Filling

  • 8 oz real or imitation crab meat, flaky and drained
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Stems from mushrooms, chopped finely (from the 12 mushrooms)

Topping

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (can use gluten-free if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth, then carefully remove the stems to create room for the filling. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems to mix into the filling for added flavor and texture.
  2. Make the crab filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, chopped mushroom stems, minced garlic, green onions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and fresh parsley. Fold in the crab meat gently to keep it flaky and avoid over-mixing.
  3. Stuff the mushrooms: Spoon the crab mixture generously into each mushroom cap, pressing slightly to fill well. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the tops for a crunchy finish after baking.
  4. Bake until golden: Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy: Let the mushrooms cool slightly once out of the oven, then serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Choose fresh mushrooms to hold their shape and avoid sogginess.
  • Don’t overfill the mushroom caps to prevent spills and uneven cooking.
  • Fold crab meat gently to preserve its delicate, flaky texture.
  • Use high-quality real or imitation crab meat for the best flavor.
  • Let mushrooms rest a few minutes after baking to lock in juices.
