Best Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Who doesn't love stuffed mushrooms? Not too long ago I decided I wanted to try manufacture them at home and looked at dozens of recipes. I couldn't find a method that I easily plan sounded right but I was able to take some basic guidelines from them to come up with this recipe. After manufacture them I was very happy with the method but I was even happier after my daughter proclaimed that they tasted just like the ones a famous bistro serves!
