Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

 

I love an easy, yummy appetizer.

We are so obsessed with finger food that I love making/trying new ones when I can.

We recently had one of these from Hy-vee.

Pre-made ones and I thought.. Oh maybe I can make it.

Turned out it was actually really easy to make and cheaper!


Let me know know what you guys think!





Ingredients


  • 16 oz medium portobello mushrooms (save the stems)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil to cook veggies

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • diced mushrooms stems
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 oz claw or lump crab meat
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp minced chives
  • Salt
  • black pepper

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese or shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375° and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Rinse whole mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully pop off the mushrooms stems, right where it connects to the cap. 
  • Preheat a saute pan and 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium high heat. Saute diced mushroom stems and diced onion until starting to caramelize. Press garlic into the onion/mushroom mixture and saute just until fragrant. Add cooked veggies into a mixing bowl.
  • Sift through the crab meat thoroughly with your fingers to make sure there are no pieces of shells accidentally left behind and add crab meat to the mixing bowl. 
  • Add all remaining ingredients for the filling to the mixing bowl and mix very well until all combined.
  • Set mushroom caps in a slightly greased baking dish, cup up. Fill each cap with stuffing mixture, pressing down lightly with your finger to fit a little bit more.
  • Sprinkle with some grated cheese over the top of stuffed mushrooms. 
  • Bake stuffed mushrooms for about 20 minutes.
    Enjoy!




Seriously, these were amazing.
We couldn't stop eating it.

Enjoy!!
