Ingredients
  

  • 20 large white mushrooms
  • 1 cup crab meat fresh or canned
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms

  • Clean mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Remove stems carefully. Place caps on a baking tray. Lightly brush with olive oil. This helps keep them moist while baking.

Make the Filling Base

  • Take a mixing bowl. Add cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy. This creates a rich and soft base for the crab filling.

Add Crab and Seasoning

  • Add crab meat into the mixture. Then add garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. Mix gently so crab stays in chunks. This gives texture and flavor in every bite.

Add Cheese and Herbs

  • Add parmesan cheese and chopped green onions. Stir lightly to combine. The cheese adds richness while onions add freshness. Do not overmix to keep texture.

Fill the Mushrooms

  • Take spoonfuls of filling and stuff each mushroom cap. Press gently so filling stays in place. Fill them generously for best taste and presentation.

Prepare Topping

  • Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over stuffed mushrooms. This creates a crispy golden topping after baking.

Bake the Mushrooms

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place tray in oven and bake for 18–20 minutes. Mushrooms should be tender and topping golden brown.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm for best flavor. The filling should be creamy and slightly firm.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for better texture
  • Do not overfill to avoid spilling
  • Use lump crab meat for best taste
  • Bake until topping is golden
  • Add lemon juice for fresh flavor
  • Serve immediately for best texture
