Savory Crab Stuffed Mushroom Caps

I love these baked mushroom caps filled
with a deliciously cheesy crabmeat mixture.
I like to serve these hot with lemon wedges.
Sometimes I sprinkle tops with sweet smoked paprika.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, melted
24 fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup diced cooked crabmeat
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1/4 cup dry white wine

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with 3 tablespoons butter.
Remove stems from mushrooms. Set aside caps.
Finely chop stems.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the chopped stems and green onions
and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
Remove saucepan from heat.
Stir in lemon juice, crabmeat, soft bread crumbs,
egg, dill weed and 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
Thoroughly blend the mixture.
4.Place mushroom caps in the buttered pan,
and stir until caps are coated with the butter.
Arrange caps cavity side up,
and stuff cavities generously with the
green onion and crabmeat mixture.
Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
Pour wine into the pan around the mushrooms.
5.Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve warm.
