Ingredients
  

  • 8 large Portobello mushroom caps stems and gills removed
  • 1 cup lump crab meat drained
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 tsp thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the Portobello mushroom caps with a damp cloth, remove the stems and gills, and pat them dry. Lightly brush each cap with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, crab meat, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is evenly blended and creamy.
  3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the crab mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to fill but not overflow. Sprinkle additional breadcrumbs on top for a crispy texture.
  4. Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For added flair, drizzle a lemon butter sauce or serve with a side of arugula salad for freshness.
