I made these a couple of weeks ago for lunch with a friend. They were very good. I made them into crab cakes and then took about a 1/2 c of the crab cake mixture (uncooked) and put it with 4 oz of cream cheese and a couple of strips of bacon cooked and crumbled and stuffed it into mushroom caps and baked them. YUM!
