Ingredients:
– 12 medium button or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and discarded
– Olive oil spray
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
– 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 2–3 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley
– 1 cup cooked and finely chopped crab meat (such as King Crab)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Lightly spray the mushrooms with olive oil and arrange them cap side down on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and finely chopped crab meat. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Spoon approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap.
5. Bake the stuffed mushrooms for 20 minutes. During the last minute of baking, turn on the broiler to lightly brown the tops. Keep a close eye on them as broilers can be unpredictable.
