- 16 Large Mushrooms
- 8 oz Lump Crabmeat (2 cans drained)
- 4 tbsp Lite Mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp Chopped Onion
- 1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foli or Parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Clean mushrooms, then remove stems & gills. Set mushroom caps on the baking sheet.
Put the crab meat in a strainer and press it with a spoon or other utensil to remove as much water as possible. Once fully drained, mix crab, mayo, herbs, onions and grated Parmesan together in a bowl.
Stuff each mushroom with the crab meat mixture, then sprinkle with paprika and oregano.
Bake for ~20 minutes. For a crispier top, increase cooking temperature to 425° F, then cook for an additional ~5 minutes, or until tops are visibly crisp
