Ingredients

• 36 Mushrooms, no preparation specific
• 8 Ounces (oz) cream cheese, packaged
• 6 Ounces (oz) crab meat, drained
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic salt
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
2. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Reserve 1/3 to 1/2 of the stems and mince them finely.
3. In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the minced mushroom stems, drained crab meat, and garlic salt. Mix well.
5. Fold the crab mixture into the whipped cream cheese. Add the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced parsley, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
6. Generously stuff each mushroom cap with the cream cheese and crab mixture. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is hot and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
