Note

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth consistency.

You can substitute fresh crabmeat with imitation crab for a budget-friendly option, though the flavor will be milder.

If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of horseradish to 1 teaspoon or add a dash of hot sauce.

These mushrooms are best served warm. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
