I wanted a recipe that really celebrated dungeneous crab meet fresh from the Oregon Coast and this totally fits the bill - My fisherman brothers gave this a 10! The romano cheese is perfect. I did not use as much cognac and half the mayo in subsequent tries. These have become a staple at Christmas get togethers and today I am surprising my family for Easter. Who would think the genie had this in her recipe? Enloy!

I used Portabello mushrooms for this one and stuffed 8 large mushrooms for a main. The only modification I made was to use 2 Tbsp of finely minced onion and baked them for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. There is no oven temp noted on this recipe. They were the best mushrooms I've ever had and my wife agreed wholeheartedly!
