• Drizzle olive oil or butter in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean.
• Remove stems, set aside caps and chop stems to add to filling.
• In a medium bowl, mix crabmeat, chopped mushroom stems, onion, dry mustard, 1 cup parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, red and black pepper, and garlic salt.
• Mix well and then stir in egg and Cream Cheese.
• Use a small cookie scoop to mound filling onto each mushroom cap.
• Melt butter and mix in garlic salt and drizzle over the filled mushrooms.
• Mound a Mozzarella Cheese over.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 425°F
• Best served hot.
• Can be prepared ahead, refrigerated and then baked just before serving (add 7-10 minutes additional baking time).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the stems from 24 large cremini mushrooms.
• Wipe the caps clean with a damp paper towel, then toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Arrange on a baking sheet.
• Finely crush 20 butter crackers (such as Ritz); mix with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup each finely chopped celery and red bell pepper; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add 1 chopped garlic clove; cook 1 minute. Combine 4 ounces cream cheese and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a large bowl; add 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup each grated parmesan, cracker crumbs and chopped parsley, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, the celery mixture and 8 ounces lump crabmeat. Divide among the mushroom caps and sprinkle with the remaining cracker crumbs.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes, then broil until golden. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break stems from mushrooms. Chop stems extremely fine.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chopped mushroom stems and garlic in hot oil until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture into a bowl to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• Stir cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper with the mushroom stems and garlic until very thick and completely mixed. Use a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange stuffed mushrooms onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until piping hot and liquid starts to form under the caps, about 20 minutes.
