Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 20 large white mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Topping
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth, creamy, and well incorporated.
- Stuff the mushrooms: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab and cream cheese mixture into each cleaned mushroom cap. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms evenly on the prepared baking sheet for even baking.
- Add the topping: In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle a small amount of this mixture over each stuffed mushroom to create a crispy, golden crust when baked.
- Prepare for baking: Lightly spray the tops of each stuffed mushroom with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray. This helps the topping brown nicely in the oven.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden and slightly crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the stuffed mushrooms cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and to avoid burns.
Notes
- To add a spicy kick, mix in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes into the filling.
- For a budget-friendly option, imitation crab meat can be used instead of lump crab.
- These stuffed mushrooms can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving for convenience.
