- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1⁄2 lb lump crabmeat

directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

- Set a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the butter to the pan.
- Once the butter is melted, about 1 minute, add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes.

- Cook the bechamel sauce for 5 minutes before removing from the heat.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before folding in the crabmeat and cheese.
- Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Spoon 1/3 cup of the bechamel over each mushroom cap and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the bread crumb mixture over each stuffed mushroom.
- Place in the oven and roast until the bechamel is bubbling and lightly browned on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
