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.

Tips:

  • Choose large, firm mushrooms. This will help them hold their shape when stuffed.
  • Remove the stems and gills from the mushrooms. This will make them easier to stuff and will help prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Crab is a classic choice, but you can also use other seafood, such as shrimp or scallops. You can also use vegetables, such as spinach or artichoke hearts, or cheese, such as Parmesan or cheddar.
  • Don't overstuff the mushrooms. You want them to be full, but not so full that they burst open.
  • Bake the mushrooms until they are golden brown and the filling is heated through. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately. They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Crab-stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a dish that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
