Total Time 40 minutes mins
- 7 ounces of canned crabmeat rinsed
- 5 green onions finely sliced
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground savory adjust to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for topping
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all your ingredients for making crab-stuffed mushrooms.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crabmeat, sliced green onions, dried thyme, oregano, savory, and black pepper. Stir in the mayonnaise and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese until the mixture is well blended. Cover and refrigerate the filling until you’re ready to use it.
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and carefully scoop out the gills and the base of the stem to form deep cups. Discard the removed gills and stems.
Spoon heaping teaspoons of the prepared filling into each mushroom cap. Arrange the filled mushrooms in a shallow, ungreased baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a dash of paprika.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are heated through and the tops are lightly golden.
Serve immediately while hot—and enjoy!
