Instructions
Preparing the Mushrooms:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Clean the Mushrooms:
- Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Avoid washing them under running water as they can become soggy.
- Remove Stems:
- Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms, creating a cavity for the filling. Set aside the caps and discard the stems or save them for another recipe.
Making the Crab Filling:
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix together the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix Until Smooth:
- Stir the ingredients until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Stuffing the Mushrooms:
- Fill the Caps:
- Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture. Make sure to pack the filling tightly into the cavities.
Preparing the Topping:
- Mix the Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and chopped parsley. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the Topping:
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the stuffed mushrooms, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres to the filling.
Baking:
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
