These hot and tasty crab and Parmesan-stuffed mushrooms are party favorites.

Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms

1 pound medium-large mushrooms

1 (7-ounce) can crab meat, drained

5 green onions with tops, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried savory

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup mayonnaise

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Paprika for sprinkling

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, green onions, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix in mayonnaise and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until combined.
3. Remove stems from mushrooms. Spoon out the gills and the base of the stem, making deep cups. Discard gills and stems. Fill the mushroom caps with rounded teaspoonfuls of filling, and place them in an ungreased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan and paprika.
4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve immediately.

Makes about 18 to 20 appetizers.
