Step 4: Stuff the Mushrooms
Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture. Slightly mound the filling on top, pressing gently so it stays in place. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms snugly in the prepared baking dish.
For extra flavor and a golden finish, sprinkle a little more Parmesan or breadcrumbs on top.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffed mushrooms uncovered for about 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the mushrooms are tender.
If you prefer a crispier top, you can broil them for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end—just keep a close eye on them.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a light sprinkle of paprika or seafood seasoning if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer or party snack, paired with lemon wedges for an extra pop of freshness.
Tips for Success
- Use lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor.
- Avoid overfilling with breadcrumbs—crab should remain the star.
- Make them ahead of time and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
- These mushrooms pair beautifully with crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
