1. Prepare the Mushrooms

Start by cleaning the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and scoop out a bit of the inside to create space for the filling. Brush each cap lightly with olive oil or melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

2. Mix the Crab Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, shredded cheese, Parmesan, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, and seasoning. Mix until the filling is creamy and well blended.
Tip: Avoid over-mixing to keep the crab texture intact.

3. Fill the Mushroom Caps Generously

Using a spoon, mound the filling into each mushroom cap. The filling should sit high and full—this is where the flavor lives.

4. Add the Cheesy Topping

Sprinkle with a pinch of shredded cheese on top of each stuffed mushroom. This creates that beautiful golden crust when baked.

5. Bake to Perfection

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the mushrooms are tender but not soggy.

6. Garnish and Serve

Let them cool slightly before serving. Finish with chopped herbs for a fresh, colorful touch.
