How to Make Mushroom Cap Neptune

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 6 ounces crabmeat (packed), 1/4 cup slivered almonds, 2 tablespoons butter (melted), 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of hot pepper sauce.
  3. Season the crab mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
  4. Gently remove the stems from 4 large mushroom caps (e.g., Portobello or cremini). Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the rounded side of each cap to create a stable base.
  5. Fill each mushroom cap with 1-2 teaspoons of the crab mixture.
  6. Place the filled mushroom caps in 4 individual oven-safe baking dishes.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons butter (melted), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the zest of 1/2 lemon, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the lemon-butter mixture evenly over the mushrooms in each dish.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the mushroom caps are tender and the filling is heated through.
