CRABMEAT STUFFED MUSHROOMS

 This recipe is from my daughter. I do not eat seafood but they tell me these are very good.

16 large mushroom caps

1/3 cup (2/3 stick) butter, melted

1 1/2 cups flaked crabmeat

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 cup finely chopped green onions

1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs, divided

3 tbsp mayonnaise

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp butter, chilled

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a large baking dish.

Dip the mushroom caps into the melted butter, them place them, rounded side down, in the prepared dish. 

Combine the crabmeat, eggs, green onions, 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a medium-size bowl and blend thoroughly. Fill the mushroom caps with this mixture. 

Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the mushrooms and dot with the chilled butter.

Bake 15 minutes or until the crumb topping is golden brown. Serve hot.
