Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms use baby cremini mushrooms hollowed out to hold a creamy mixture of lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, finely diced shallots, fresh parsley, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The mushrooms bake at 400°F until tender and topped with a golden cheese crust. The combination of delicate crab and creamy, cheesy filling contrasts with the slightly softened mushroom caps, offering a rich yet balanced bite.
This dish fits well as a starter or party appetizer where the savory seafood component stands out without overpowering. The mild seasoning with salt and black pepper lets the crab flavor shine, matched with fresh herbs for brightness.
To reduce excess moisture from the mushrooms, they can be baked on a wire rack above a baking sheet to let juices drain away. Serving immediately after baking preserves the texture and temperature of the filling and mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 20 cremini mushrooms or baby bell mushrooms
- 8 ounces crab meat lump
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons shallot finely diced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ¼ cup parsley plus more for garnish, finely chopped, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep mushrooms. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°F). Grease a baking sheet with a little olive oil. Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Discard the stems or save and freeze them to add to a future soup recipe!
- Make the filling. In a large mixing bowl, add the crab meat, cream cheese, shallot, parmesan (reserve 1 tablespoon), and parsley. Stir until well combined.
- Stuff the mushrooms. Fill the mushroom caps with the crab filling, and evenly sprinkle the tops with the reserved parmesan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mushrooms are slightly soft. Garnish with extra parsley to serve.
Notes
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to avoid soggy mushrooms by letting juices drip away during baking.
- Save mushroom stems for future use in soups or stocks if not discarded.
