Servings: 25
Ingredients
For The Mushrooms
- 25 baby bella mushrooms stems removed and inner gills cleaned out
- 8 ounces imitation crabmeat chopped
- 3 green onions white and green parts, chopped
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup milk
For The Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 375˚F. Lightly grease a large baking dish with cooking spray; transfer the mushroom caps to the baking dish and set aside.
- Make the crab filling. In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, green onions, panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix to combine. Add milk and continue to stir until the mixture is just moistened. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of milk.
- Fill the mushrooms and bake. Spoon the filling into the prepared mushrooms and bake for 15 minutes.
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
- Melt butter in a saucepan. When completely melted, remove from heat and, using a spoon, remove the foamy layer on top; discard foam.
- Add seasonings. Whisk in the garlic powder and salt.
- Drizzle over top of the mushrooms. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Drizzle the mushrooms with the garlic butter sauce and serve.
Notes
- Freshness Matters: Select fresh, firm mushrooms with a deep, earthy smell for the best results.
- Size Counts: Opt for medium-sized mushrooms to ensure a good stuffing-to-mushroom ratio.
- Patience with Prep: Take time to clean and prepare the mushrooms, and gently remove the stems to keep the caps intact.
- Space Them Out: Don't overcrowd the baking tray; give the mushrooms space to cook evenly.
