Stuffed Mushrooms

12 large mushrooms

1 TBS oil

1 TBS garlic

1 8 oz package cream cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

crab meat (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Twist and remove steams from mushrooms and finely chop them.

Heat oil in a large skillet, add garlic and chopped stems. Cook until all moister is gone, careful not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool. When stems are cooled add the rest of the ingredients. Spoon into a Ziploc bag, cut off tip of the corner. "pipe" into the mushroom caps. Bake for 20 min.

Optional toppings: bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, cayenne pepper.
