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.

Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 ounce white wine
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 ounces lump crabmeat or 4 ounces king crab meat
1 ounce heavy cream or 1 ounce half-and-half cream
1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese or 1/4 cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
16 stuffing mushrooms, stems removed
16 slices swiss cheese (small thin slices) or 16 slices cheddar cheese (small thin slices)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and sauté onion and celery until soft. Add wine, seasonings, lemon juice and crabmeat; simmer about 3 minutes.
  • Add cream and shredded cheese; cook until cheese melts. Add breadcrumbs and stir well.
  • Spoon mixture into mushroom caps and top with slices of cheese.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use jumbo mushrooms. They will hold more stuffing and are easier to work with.
  • Remove the mushroom stems. You can use a spoon or a melon baller to do this.
  • Finely chop the mushroom stems. This will help them to blend in with the stuffing.
  • Sauté the mushroom stems and onions. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a variety of crab meat. Fresh, frozen, or canned crab meat can all be used.
  • Don't overstuff the mushrooms. The stuffing should be mounded slightly on top of the mushrooms, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the mushrooms until they are golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the mushrooms with your favorite dipping sauce. Cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or melted butter are all good choices.

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 preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a special appetizer, give crab stuffed mushrooms a try!
