• fresh large stuffing mushrooms (2-3 per person)

• 1-2 bunches fresh scallions, chopped
• 8 oz. brick Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

4. For the stuffing, take the mushroom stems and chop them up.
5. Place in medium pan.
6. Chop the crabmeat and scallions and place in same pan.
7. Add 1/4 to 1/2 c. butter and saute the mixture.
8. While sauteing add the above seasonings to taste.
9. (I have never measured anything for this recipe.)
10. Saute mixture for about 15-20 minutes.
11. Spoon mixture into each mushroom.
12. If there is any left just spoon it next to the mushrooms, it is good that way too.
13. Put several pats of butter in the baking dish before placing the pan in the oven.
14. Bake mushrooms at 350u0b0 for 1/2 hour.
15. After they have baked for 1/2 hour place a small amount of cheese on each mushroom and bake an additional 15 minutes.
