Difficulty: easy Prep Time: More than 15 Minutes Total Time: Under an hour
24 large white mushroom caps, stems removed
Extra virgin olive oil
2 cans crab, drained well
1/2 cup goat cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup red pepper, minced
1/2 cup red onion, minced
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, minced
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix together all ingredients, except mushroom caps and olive oil. Brush mushroom caps lightly with some olive oil.
