CRAB MEAT STUFFED MUSHROOMS

This is my daughter's recipe.

16 large mushroom caps
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups flaked crab meat
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs, divided
3 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp butter, chilled

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease a large baking dish; set aside.

Dip the mushroom caps in the melted butter; place rounded side down in the prepared baking dish.

Combine the crab meat, eggs, onion, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a medium size bowl; blend thoroughly. Fill mushroom caps with the mixture.

Sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs over the mushrooms and dot with the chilled butter.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until the crumbs topping the mushrooms are golden brown.
Serve while hot.
