6-8 large portabella mushrooms
1 tbsp. butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp. (roughly) onion, minced
1/2 c. mayo
3 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (or less if you want less heat)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 egg
1 lb. lump crab meat (I've found that Culinary Reserve Jumbo or Super Lump, from ShopRite, is really good!)
paprika for sprinkling on top
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Cut stems out of mushroom caps and carve a little "bowl" in each mushroom. Finely chop all of the mushroom pieces that you take out.
- Place mushroom caps on cookie sheet. You may want to mix or brush with a small amount of EVOO to keep from sticking to pan. Place caps in oven at 375 for 5-10 minutes, just until they soften up. Set aside on cookie sheet until crab mixture is ready.
- While they soften, melt the butter on medium heat in a small pan. Throw in the mushroom pieces, onion, and garlic, and heat for a few minutes until they soften. Remove to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add all remaining ingredients except for crab and paprika, mix thoroughly. Fold in crab meat last so it doesn't all get broken up.
- Spoon a heaping amount of crab stuffing in each mushroom cap and sprinkle with a bit of paprika. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your portabellas. The tops should be golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!

I like how you and Jim have "early days" haha.
The recipe sounds delish (if only I ate mushrooms! :-D), and I'm just excited that one of us updated the blog.
Can I put in a request for the posting of the cornbread??? Granted, I have the recipe now, and in fact have already passed it on to some others, but I can't take credit for Jim's find!
