Crab Stuffed Mushrooms with Bacon

Ingredients

• 1 pound large cremini mushrooms (About 20), cleaned and de-stemmed
• 12 ounces fresh lump crab meat
• 6 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• sea salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (Alternatively, you can use a mini muffin tin to hold the mushrooms upright. (I use this one) It will hold them snugly in place and keep them from falling over and losing their toppings.

2. 2

   Bake mushroom caps for 10 minutes. Pour out any excess moisture that pools in the mushrooms caps.In a large mixing bowl, combine crab, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic, green onions, Dijon, salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3. 3

   Stuff each mushroom with crab mixture. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each mushroom with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese on top is golden brown.
