Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms with Garlic and Gouda
Description
This recipe utilizes 25-30 button mushrooms with stems removed and filled with a mixture combining finely diced red pepper, celery, onion, chopped mushroom stems, and minced garlic sautéed in butter. The sautéed vegetables are seasoned with Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to build flavor.
Adding lump crab meat, gouda cheese, and panko breadcrumbs to the vegetable mixture creates a creamy and textured filling. The mixture is spooned into mushroom caps, topped with extra gouda cheese and a dusting of paprika, and baked at 350°F until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden and bubbly.
The contrast between the tender mushroom bases and the rich, cheesy crab filling makes this dish work as a satisfying appetizer or party snack. Fresh herbs like chopped green onions or parsley add brightness when sprinkled on top.
Nutrition details were estimated online, so quantities or seasoning can be adjusted to taste. The use of claw crab meat keeps the flavor rich without overpowering the mushroom base.
