NEXT RECIPE:  CREAMED SPINACH

CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS 
24 large mushrooms
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
minced garlic
any flavor Philadelphia (whipped) cream cheese
1 can crab meat
Parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons butter

Remove stems from the mushrooms. Carefully trim the mushroom cap back to expose the spore area. Do this at an angle so that the cap can hold more mixture.

In a bowl, combine the container of whipped cream cheese, three tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and the crab meat. Fold the mixture over until thoroughly combined.

Pour 1/2 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil into each mushroom cap. Add a sprinkle of minced garlic into the oil. Add one tablespoon of crab mixture into each mushroom cap. Put the mushroom caps into a foil container.

Slice the butter into cubes and add them to the bottom of the container. Sprinkle minced garlic over butter.

Cover the container with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of cook time.

Makes 12 servings.

Just made this but used small mushrooms cause that was all the was in the house...so maybe thats why, but it melted all down to a puddle! It tasted great though, so I cooked some pasta and used it as a sauce, mmmm!

Excellent. Very rich, so I agree it maybe good in a pasta. Baked until tops were brown. The bottoms were a bit soggy so I fried them after they were out of the oven.

Made this tonight, was excellent!! I did however do things different. I used regular Philadelphia onion and chive cream cheese softened. I used large portabella caps (2). I made a pan out of heavy duty aluminum foil and put them on the grill on low for about 35-40 min. Turned out awesome....thanks. My husband loved it!!
