Ingredients
  

  • 12 medium button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms cleaned with stems removed and discarded
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 box (8 ounce cream cheese softened)
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs 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 shelled crab finely chopped (I use King Crab)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Lightly spray mushrooms with olive oil spray and arrange mushrooms cap side down on a baking sheet or baking dish. In a large bowl, stir the cream cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, Parmesan, parsley, and crab meat.  Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  3. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the broiler on at the last minute of cooking to brown the tops lightly. Stay close by, as I have always found broilers unpredictable.

Notes

  • For perfectly tender mushrooms, avoid soaking them in water; instead, gently wipe them clean to retain their flavor and texture.
  • Keep an eye on the broiler during the last minute of baking to achieve a golden-brown topping; it can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
  • If you're out of crab, feel free to substitute it with cooked shrimp or lobster for a delicious twist on this recipe.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat them in the oven at 325°F for about 5-7 minutes for best results.
  • For a quicker prep, mix the filling a day in advance and refrigerate it until you're ready to stuff the mushrooms and bake.
