Step 2: Create the Creamy Crab Mixture
In a bowl, combine:
- Softened cream cheese
- Parmesan
- Minced garlic
- Chopped green onions
- Parsley
- Breadcrumbs
- Worcestershire sauce
- Old Bay seasoning
- Lemon juice
Mix until creamy and well blended.
Gently fold in the crab meat last so that you keep its delicate texture intact. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed—some like more spice, others prefer extra lemon brightness.
Step 3: Fill Each Mushroom Generously
Spoon a heaping mound of the crab mixture into each mushroom cap. Don’t be shy—packed mushrooms bake more evenly and look more impressive.
If you want a bit of crunch, sprinkle each stuffed cap with a pinch of breadcrumbs and Parmesan before baking.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the stuffed mushrooms for 18–22 minutes, or until:
- The tops are golden
- The mushrooms have softened
- The filling is bubbling lightly
For an extra golden top, broil them for the last 1–2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
Once out of the oven, drizzle lightly with melted butter or sprinkle more fresh parsley on top. This adds shine, freshness, and aroma.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving—this helps the flavors settle and keeps the filling from being too hot.
🍽️ Serving Ideas

They’re elegant enough for special occasions yet easy enough for any weeknight treat.
