Oven-Baked Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms Delight

Ingredients

- 12 large button mushrooms
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasonings
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 8 oz crab meat or imitation crab meat, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems and set the mushroom caps aside. Finely chop the stems.

3. Make the Stuffing
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, Italian seasonings, black pepper, and chopped mushroom stems. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

4. Add Crab Meat
Gently fold in the finely chopped crab meat (or imitation crab meat) into the cream cheese mixture.

5. Stuff the Mushrooms
Spoon the crab and cream cheese filling into each mushroom cap, generously packing the stuffing in.

6. Top with Parmesan and Breadcrumbs
In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture liberally over the stuffed mushrooms.

7. Drizzle with Butter
Place the stuffed mushrooms onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle each mushroom with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy topping.

8. Bake
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

9. Cool and Serve
Allow the stuffed mushrooms to cool slightly before serving them warm as a delightful snack.
