For the Filling:
3/4 lb crabmeat
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup Japanese-style panko bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease an 8×13-inch baking pan.
Prepare the Crab Filling
Place the crabmeat in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and gently toss.
Add the panko bread crumbs, melted butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Mushrooms
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the crab mixture.
Place the stuffed mushrooms in the prepared baking pan.
Add the Topping
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.

Serve
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Tips for Success
Mushroom Selection: Use firm, large mushrooms like cremini or white button mushrooms.
Freshness Matters: Use fresh crabmeat for the best flavor, but canned or imitation crab can work in a pinch.
Customize the Flavor: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a slight kick or some shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness.
