Level: Easy
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 12 Large cleaned white button mushrooms with stems removed and discarded
- Olive oil spray
- 8 ounces, weight Cream cheese, softened
- ½ cups Fresh breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Chopped garlic
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ cups Finely chopped green onions
- ½ cups Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 cup Finely chopped cooked shelled crab (I use king crab)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Lightly spray the mushrooms with a spray bottle of olive oil and arrange the mushrooms, cap side down, on a cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, Parmesan, parsley and crab.
Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling into each mushroom. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn on the grill at the last minute of cooking to lightly brown the top. Stay close as I have always found the broilers to be unpredictable.
Note: You can add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper for a little kick.
