CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS
This tasty appetizer seasoned with thyme, oregano, and savory. Choose good sized mushrooms, about 2 inches across. When cleaning mushrooms, don't run them under water. They are like little sponges, and will absorb it; just wipe them clean with a damp towel. The filling can be made with fresh, canned, or imitation crabmeat. If using canned, be sure to rinse it first.

CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS W/ TARRAGON HOLLANDAISE
Steps:
- Sauce: Fill bottom of sauce pan with enough water to coat about 2 inches. Bring to boil then remove from heat. Place glass mixing bowl over boiling water making sure the bottom does not touch the water, and whisk together butter, old bay, tarragon, and Sherry. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and water until fluffy. Then slowly temper eggs by whisking a little of the hot butter mixture. Then slowly poor egg mixture into glass bowl and whisk until you have created a thick emulsification that has the texture of a soft pudding. Then finish by whisking in lemon juice and more Old Bay if desired. You must work fast, or the mixture will not emulsify properly, and you must continuously whisk the eggs so they do not begin to scrabble. Mushrooms: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together everything except butter, crabmeat and mushrooms. Gently fold in crabmeat being very careful not to break any lumps of crabmeat. Coat both side of mushroom with butter and fill with crab mixture. Place on a baking sheet and top with hollandaise sauce. Bake in oven for 15 minutes.
