1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2 In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, parsley, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, spring onion and nutmeg. Stir in enough milk to moisten and season with the pepper.

3 Place the mushrooms onto the tray, stalk side up. Spoon the crab mixture, dividing it equally, on top of each mushroom and press in gently with the spoon. Sprinkle over the grated parmesan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.

4 Serve sprinkled with extra chopped parsley.
