- 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh parsley
- 12 baby portobello mushroom caps
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
- In a medium skillet, cook bacon on medium heat until crispy.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Pour out grease and wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
- Add in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat oven medium heat.
- Once hot, add in garlic and stir for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add in fresh spinach. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until wilted.
- Lay crab meat out on a plate and scan for shells. Remove any crab shells from crab meat.

- In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add in crab mixture and stir to combine.
- Add in Parmesan cheese and stir well.
- Wipe mushrooms off with a clean paper towel.
- If the stems are still in the mushrooms, remove those and discard.
- (or you can dice up the stems, saute and add them to the filling)
- (I've found mushrooms before that were labeled at "stuffers" that already had the stems removed)
- Add about 1 or 1.5 tablespoons of crab filling to each mushrooms cap.
- Top each mushroom with 1/2 teaspoon of shredded Parmesan.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Brush 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil on to the foil.
- Put mushrooms onto the sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Place mushrooms on a paper towel lined plate. Let mushrooms rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve
