Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 12 medium button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms, cleaned with stems removed and discarded
  • Olive oil spray

Stuffing

  • 1 box (8 ounces) 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 (King Crab recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the stuffed mushrooms.
  2. Prepare Mushrooms: Lightly spray the cleaned mushroom caps with olive oil spray and arrange them cap side down on a baking sheet or baking dish.
  3. Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, bread crumbs, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped Italian parsley, and finely chopped crab meat. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste and stir until well combined.
  4. Stuff Mushrooms: Using a spoon, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, filling them generously.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.
  6. Broil for Browning: Turn the broiler on during the last minute of cooking to lightly brown the tops of the stuffed mushrooms. Watch carefully as the broiler can brown quickly and unexpectedly.

Notes

  • Use fresh bread crumbs or panko for a lighter stuffing texture.
  • King Crab is recommended, but you can substitute with other cooked crab meat or even imitation crab if needed.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent burning the tops of the mushrooms.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving for convenience.
