Ingredients
-
8 fresh morel mushrooms - trimmed, washed, and dried
-
butter-flavored cooking spray
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
1 tablespoon minced red bell pepper
-
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion, including green part
-
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat
-
2 tablespoons minced celery leaves
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
4 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
-
½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ cup bread crumbs
-
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
-
Mince mushroom stems. Cut mushroom caps in half, lengthwise; place cut-sides up into prepared baking pan.
-
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, red bell pepper, and green onion; cook and stir until green onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
-
Mix cream cheese, crabmeat, celery leaves, egg, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and sea salt together in a large bowl. Fold in cooled onion mixture. Place a dollop of crabmeat filling into each mushroom cap with a small spoon.
-
Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of filled mushroom caps.

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
Substitute orange or yellow bell pepper for the red bell pepper if preferred.
I made my own bread crumbs from garlic bagel slices crushed with a rolling pin.
