Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean mushrooms and remove stems, reserving them.
Set mushrooms cap side down on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake for 10 minutes.
When done, drain the excess moisture from the mushrooms through a colander. Reset the caps on the baking sheet and set aside.
While mushroom caps are baking, in a small pan, melt remaining butter, and saute garlic and mushroom stems together until tender, 3-4 minutes.
Remove stems from heat and cool slightly before adding them to a bowl with the remaining ingredients. Mix together until evenly distributed.
Form ½-1 tablespoon-sized balls of crab cake mixture, and set on top of upside down mushroom caps. Sprinkle with shaved or grated Parmesan cheese if you'd like, then bake another 10 minutes.
