Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound
mushrooms (use large white or crimini mushrooms)
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1/4 cup
shallot (finely diced)
2 cloves
garlic (minced)
4 ounces
crab meat (picked over to remove shells)
4 ounces
cream cheese (softened)
1
egg
1/4 cup
unflavored bread crumbs
1/2 cup
parmesan cheese (grated)
1 tablespoon
fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon
chives (chopped)
1 tablespoon
butter (melted)
1 tablespoon
parsley (chopped)
1/4 cup
panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons
parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
1
Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth to clean, then remove the stems and set them aside.
2
Finely chop the stems.
3
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking until the mushrooms release and lose their moisture, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
4
In a bowl, mix together the crab meat, softened cream cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, and chives. Stir in the cooled shallots and garlic, blending well. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the crab mixture, pressing down lightly to secure the filling.
6
Bake the stuffed mushrooms on the baking sheet or in a casserole dish for 20-25 minutes.
7
While they bake, combine the melted butter, panko, Parmesan, and parsley for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture over each mushroom and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
8
Serve and enjoy!
