Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spoon (for scooping out mushroom stems)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms:
  • 4 large portobello mushrooms stems removed and gills scooped out
  • 1/2 lb lump crab meat drained
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Mushrooms:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Gently remove the stems and gills from the portobello mushrooms, creating a cavity for the stuffing. Place the mushrooms on a large baking sheet, stem-side up.
  • Make the Crab Filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
  • Stuff the Mushrooms:
  • Spoon the crab mixture into the mushroom caps, packing it in gently but firmly. Be generous with the filling, as it will bake down a bit.
  • Bake the Mushrooms:
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffed mushrooms.
  • Place the mushrooms in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They’re great on their own or served with a fresh salad or side dish.
