Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Filling
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Sauté the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with fresh crabmeat, whipped cream cheese, Italian blend cheese, a large egg, chopped parsley and basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Chill the mixture for 1 to 24 hours.
Step 2: Prep the Mushrooms
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the baby Bella mushrooms gently with a damp cloth and remove the stems, placing the caps cap-side down on a baking rack. Bake for 3 minutes.
Step 3: Stuff the Mushrooms
  1. Brush the insides of each mushroom cap with extra-virgin olive oil. Fill each mushroom with about one tablespoon of the chilled crab mixture.
Step 4: Prepare Topping
  1. Melt another tablespoon of butter. Add in ½ cup of panko breadcrumbs and sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Bake
  1. Top each stuffed mushroom with the sautéed breadcrumbs and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Step 6: Serve
  1. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon slices.
