Stuffed mushrooms with a gourmet flair, you can’t go wrong with this recipe. A combination of cream cheese and mayo makes these some of the best crab stuffed mushrooms to hit your table.
CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS
If you’re planning on entertaining any time soon, there’s nothing like a good spread of crowd-pleasing appetisers to keep your guests happy. A table full of Cocktail Meatballs (with sweet and sour sauce), Bloomin’ Onion Garlic Bread, Spinach Artichoke Dip and a Cheeseboard will go down a treat; however, Stuffed Mushrooms are super popular and are always a welcome addition. Crab stuffed mushrooms are even better! With every bite, you get a subtle crunch thanks to the broiled Panko topping, a soft and creamy inside filled with crab meat, green onions and herbs, and juicy, meaty mushroom. What more could you ask for in an appetiser?
HOW TO CLEAN MUSHROOMS
Wipe mushrooms dry with a damp sheet of paper towel, then remove stems and scoop out gills. Please don’t wash or soak them in water as they will take on too much liquid and release the water while they cook.
HOW TO MAKE CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS
Stuff your mushroom caps with a mouthwatering crab dip: the perfect ratio of mayo to cream cheese, garlic, green onions, parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, herbs and of course crab meat. Use a baking sheet with 1-inch sides to keep any juices released while cooking in the pan and prevent a mess in your oven. Arrange them in single layer to bake. You want them to cook evenly.
WHAT MUSHROOMS ARE BEST FOR STUFFED MUSHROOMS?
I use white and brown mushrooms in our stuffed mushroom recipe. Portobellos are another great option to use if you’re looking to serve them as a meal, like these Scalloped Portobellos. Try to find white mushrooms big enough to hold the stuffing. Keep in mind mushrooms will reduce in size quite a bit, so the bigger you find them, the better! Using roughly the same sized mushrooms ensure they cook evenly.
TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS
I use fresh crab meat in this recipe found in most seafood markets. You can also use refrigerated, frozen or tinned (drained) crab meat if you wish. If crab meat is unavailable to you, you can try imitation crab, chopped shrimp or lobster meat for something different. I prefer Panko for this recipe, but you can use regular breadcrumbs. I love mixing my breadcrumbs with oil to get an incredible crunch with each mouthful. For Keto or low carb alternatives, you can skip the breadcrumbs and use pork rinds!
HOW LONG TO BAKE STUFFED MUSHROOMS?
Crab stuffed mushrooms take 18 minutes to cook in the oven, then broil for a further 2 minutes to get them nice and crispy! Good luck getting them out to your guests without trying one first! It won’t happen.
