Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) large mushrooms
• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil, divided
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 Cups yellow onion, minced
• 1 6 Ounces (oz) can crab meat, drained
• 0.25 Cups cream cheese
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 1 Cups fresh bread crumbs, divided
• 0.25 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon, zested

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Chop enough stems to yield one cup. Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil.
3. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped stems, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mushroom-onion mixture, crab meat, cream cheese, egg, 0.5 cup bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Spoon the crab mixture into the mushroom caps, mounding slightly. Arrange the filled caps on the prepared baking sheet.
6. In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the remaining 0.5 cup bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the crumbs are coated and lightly toasted.
7. Sprinkle the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture over the stuffed mushrooms.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
9. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy your gourmet appetizer!
