Ingredients
Scale
Let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious dish:
- 24 large white mushrooms, stems removed
- 8 oz canned crab meat, drained (fresh is always welcome if you can swing it!)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs (optional, for a crispy top)
If you find yourself missing an ingredient, don’t worry. You can substitute parsley with chives or the Parmesan with Gruyère for a different flavor twist. Remember, home cooking is all about making it work with what you have!
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create your delicious Crab Stuffed Mushrooms:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the crab mixture, pressing gently to pack it in. Feel free to heap the filling high—more is more in this case!
- If you like a little crunch, sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of each filled mushroom.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
As you prepare these, remember that it’s okay if the kitchen gets a little messy—mine always does. Embrace the chaos as part of the cooking journey.
