Ingredients
12 medium button or cremini mushrooms cleaned with stems removed and discarded
olive oil spray
8 ounces full-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup fresh or panko breadcrumbs
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup green onions
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2–3 tablespoons Italian parsley
1 cup shelled crab meat
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) and lightly spray the mushrooms with olive oil before placing them cap side down on a baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, Parmesan, parsley, and crab meat, then season with salt and pepper for a well-balanced filling.
2-Next, spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture into each mushroom cap to fill them nicely. For more tips on handling ingredients, check out our baking essentials guide on the site. Bake the mushrooms for 20 minutes and broil for the last minute to brown the tops, but keep a close eye to avoid overcooking.
3-This method keeps things simple and ensures even cooking. Mushrooms can be precooked for 2-3 minutes and drained upside down to cut down on moisture, as per additional tips for better texture. Once done, let them cool a bit before serving for the best flavor and presentation.
