1. Prep the Mushrooms
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

- Arrange them, hollow side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crab Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine:

- Parmesan
- Mayonnaise
- Garlic
- Parsley
- Worcestershire sauce
- Old Bay or seasoning of choice

4. Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
