Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  2. Remove the stems and gills from the portobello mushrooms and wipe the caps with a damp paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pre-bake the mushrooms in the oven for about 8 minutes to reduce moisture.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, lump crabmeat, panko breadcrumbs, sweet onion, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and lemon juice. Gently fold in two-thirds of the shredded cheese and season with salt and pepper. Add the beaten egg.
  5. Stuff the mixture into each pre-baked portobello mushroom cap, mounding generously.
  6. Bake the stuffed mushrooms for 10 to 12 minutes until heated through and tops are golden.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the mushrooms and bake for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until melted.
  8. Let cool slightly, then serve hot with lemon wedges.
