Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) mushrooms
• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, divided
• 0.25 Cups onion, minced
• 6 Ounces (oz) crab meat, drained
• 0.25 Cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 2 Cups bread crumbs, divided
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) parsley, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet to prepare for baking.
2. Clean the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems. Chop enough stems to yield one cup. Use a pastry brush to coat the mushroom caps with vegetable oil for even coverage.
3. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced onion, sautéing for about 4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mushroom-onion mixture, crab meat, cream cheese, whisked egg, 1 cup of bread crumbs, minced parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
5. Spoon the crab mixture generously into each mushroom cap, arranging them on the prepared cookie sheet.
6. In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the remaining 1 cup of bread crumbs, stirring until they are well coated with butter. Lightly sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs over the stuffed mushroom caps.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
8. Serve warm and enjoy the savory, herb-infused flavors of these delightful crab-stuffed mushrooms.
