Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 portobello mushroom caps (31/2 to 4" diameter)
  • 8 oz lump crabmeat (fully cooked, pasteurized)
  • 1/2 cup panko crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped sweet onion
  • 1 or 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 11/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup shredded Muenster or Monterey Jack cheese (divided)
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the portobello caps with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and scrape out any gills. Place them upside down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, mix lump crabmeat, panko crumbs, onion, garlic, thyme leaves, lemon juice, half of the cheese, and the beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Generously stuff each mushroom cap with the crab mixture and top with remaining cheese.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden brown.
  5. Let cool briefly before serving with fresh lemon wedges.
