Crabby Portabellas

Crabby Portabellas

-Jens Creation

Here's what you need:

• 4 large Portabella mushrooms - stems removed and finely chopped
• 1/4 c. finely minced Onion or Shallots
• 2/4 c. finely chopped Spinach
• 4 oz. softened Cream Cheese
• 1/2 c. shredded, Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 2-6 oz. cans Crab Meat, drained well
• 2 slices Wheat Bread, torn in very small pieces (divided)
• 1/4 t. each - Garlic Powder & Onion Powder
• 1/2 t. Dill Weed
• 1/8 t. Cayenne Pepper (if you're like me and love a little kick, use 1/4t!)
• A few grinds of Kosher Salt & Pepper
• 2 T. butter (to be drizzled on top last)

Here's what you do:
-Heat oven to 400 Degrees
-Clean the mushrooms with a dry cloth.  With the stems side facing up, put on a baking dish sprayed with Pam.
-Bake in oven until the juices show and tender, about 15 minutes (If larger mushrooms, ad a bit more time).
-Remove from oven & drain any juices that have collected in the mushrooms.

-While mushrooms were cooking, mix together in a bowl all the other ingredients, cinluding the finely chopped mushroom stems & half of the torn bread.
-Divide the mixture between the mushrooms.  Top each with the rest of the bread crumbs, drizzle butter over each.
-Bake, uncovered, 15-20 minutes, or until the bread crumbs have browned & heated thoroughly.
