Crab stuffed portabella mushrooms
Description
This recipe starts by removing the stems from portabella or large white mushrooms, using half chopped finely into the crab filling. The filling combines flaked crabmeat, onion, mustard powder, shredded Parmesan and sharp cheddar cheese, parsley, black and red pepper, garlic salt, beaten egg, and plain Greek yogurt for moisture and binding. Spoonfuls of this creamy mixture mound into each mushroom cap.
The stuffed mushrooms are baked at 425 degrees after being drizzled with melted butter flavored with garlic salt and topped with extra cheddar cheese. This cooking method softens the mushroom caps while melting and browning the cheesy filling, creating a rich, savory dish suitable as an appetizer or light entrée. The inclusion of mustard powder and a sprinkle of red pepper adds subtle layers of flavor complexity.
