2. 2Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper and set aside.
3. 3Wash the mushrooms and pop out the stems. Chop the stems finely. In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, saute the onions until softened. Add the garlic and the chopped mushroom stems and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions have browned and the mushrooms have released their liquid. Remove from the heat and set aside.
4. 4In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and the egg yolk until well combined. Stir in the parmesan cheese and the crab meat. Add the onion mixture and stir well. If the mixture is really soft, place the bowl in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to allow it to firm up before filling the mushrooms.
5. 5Scoop the filling into the mushroom caps and place them on the baking sheet. Fill them up as full as you can, it can be heaped up a bit. If you’re using bacon, take half a piece of bacon and lay it across the top of the filled mushroom cap and wrap the ends around, setting it down on the baking sheet on top of the ends to hold them in place. Repeat with the other mushrooms.
6. 6Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is as well cooked as you would like. Let them cool slightly before eating.
