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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter.
- Wash mushrooms and remove stems. Scrape out mushroom caps to make an ample "bowl" for the filling.
- Mix cream cheese, 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese, green onions, seafood seasoning, Creole seasoning, and garlic powder together until thoroughly combined. Crumble in crabmeat, making sure there are no large chunks so the consistency works well for stuffing. Mix in bread crumbs.
- Start forming a ball of stuffing and place it in a mushroom cap, making the mushroom cap form-fit the ball. The stuffing should be ample so the mushroom cap wraps around the bottom half of the ball. Repeat to stuff remaining mushrooms, then transfer into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Colby-Jack on top, smoothing it down so it sticks to the stuffing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms for different flavors and textures. White button mushrooms are a classic choice, but you can also try portobello, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms.
- Crab meat is the star of this recipe, so make sure to buy high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat works well, but avoid imitation crab meat.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the crab meat into small pieces. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the stuffing.
- Don't overstuff the mushrooms. You want them to be full, but not so full that the stuffing bursts out when you bite into them.
- Bake the mushrooms until the stuffing is hot and bubbly and the mushrooms are tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Creamy crab stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also relatively easy to make, so you can impress your guests without spending hours in the kitchen. So next time you are looking for a special appetizer, give these creamy crab stuffed mushrooms a try.
