CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Crab Stuffed Mushrooms image

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.

EASY CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS (MICROWAVE)



Easy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (Microwave) image

I came up with this recipe years ago and it has been a big hit each time I have made them since. One of the great things is you can use this same mixture to make excellent wontons.

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb mushroom caps
1 8- oz package cream cheese
1 pkg imitation crabmeat
lemon pepper
real butter

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese with shredded crab meat. Everyone has their own taste as to how much crab to add. I just make sure there is more cream cheese than crab.
  • 2. Add lemon pepper to taste. In my experience more is better so don't be shy with it. Taste it as you go and remember you can always add more.
  • 3. Stuff each individual mushroom cap and place in a microwave safe glass baking dish making sure the size of the dish will fit in your microwave.
  • 4. Place several pats of butter evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Depending on the size of the dish as to how many pats of butter. You don't want them swimming in butter but want them moist while cooking and the butter adds flavor. I average about 6 or so.
  • 5. Cover the dish with Saran Wrap and place in the microwave.
  • 6. Cook on high. The time will vary for each microwave. I usually start out with about 4-5 minutes and add minutes as I go if needed. Get a feel for how your microwave cooks them and be sure not to overcook. You don't want the cheese mixture to cook over into the pan.
  • 7. That is all there is to it. Enjoy!!!
  • 8. Note: This mixture is fantastic to use as a wonton filler as well!
  • 9. Note: These are excellent as they are but you can add other ingredients to suit your taste such as crumbled bacon, etc. If you add onion go sparingly so as not to drown out the taste of the crab. Once cooked in the microwave you could add your choice of shredded cheese on top and pop them in the oven on a low broil to melt the cheese.

This is a delicious,cheap,easy and you can prepare this ahead of time... AWESOME . When we get our limit for the day, and have extra after the feast, I prepare this (either the 'stuffing' or the stuffed mushrooms) easily. Set it in the fridge overnight.

24 -36 white button mushrooms, depending on the size
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Club House parmesan and herbs
1/3 margarine
1/3 cup cream cheese
1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mushroom, from the stems (optional)

  • Combine green onions,garlic,margarine,cream cheese, and seasoning in a bowl and microwave on high for 1 min, stir, microwave again for 1 minute.
  • Stir and add crab, mushrooms and parmesan.
  • At this point, the mixture should be fairly thick,(and not too buttery, you'll be able to tell if you see it on the edges of the bowl -- if you see 'too much' add some bread crumbs for a better outcome) You want a thick porridge like consistency at this point.
  • You could now store this mixture or if you had stuffed the mushrooms -- they can be refrigerated and heated and served the next day.
  • Stuff mushroom caps and top with additional sprinkle of bread crumbs and/or cheese, if desired.
  • Heat at 375 for 10-20 mins, or until bubbling hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Large, firm mushrooms with intact stems are best for stuffing.
  • Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems.
  • Cook the crab meat: If using fresh crab meat, cook it in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. If using canned crab meat, drain and flake it.
  • Make the stuffing: Combine the crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
