Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×13 baking pan.

In a large bowl, add crabmeat and drizzle with lemon juice.
Stir in panko crumbs.
Add melted butter, part of the Parmesan, Dijon mustard, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Mix gently.

Step 3: Fill the Mushrooms

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to fill each mushroom cap generously.

Step 4: Top With Cheese

Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the filled mushrooms.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and the tops look lightly golden.

Step 6: Serve Immediately

Serve them hot—trust me, that’s when the magic happens.
