Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a small spoon to scrape out the dark gills from each cap, creating a hollow for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, flake the imitation crab into bite-sized pieces. Add mayonnaise, fresh breadcrumbs, chives, dill, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Arrange the mushroom caps gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt.
- Divide the crab mixture evenly among the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the tops with panko breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown. The filling should be heated through and the breadcrumbs crispy.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh chives if desired.
Notes
These can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Add 2-3 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a 350°F oven.
