Ingredients

For the Stuffed Mushrooms

12 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
1 pound lump crab meat
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

For Topping

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Make sure to preheat your oven before preparing the filling.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Mushroom Caps

Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Stuff the Mushrooms

Spoon the crab mixture into each mushroom cap generously.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and drizzle with olive oil over the stuffed mushrooms.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

These stuffed mushrooms are best enjoyed warm.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers after your gathering, storing them is simple. Allow the stuffed mushrooms to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This method helps retain their delicious texture and flavor.

For longer storage, consider freezing the stuffed mushrooms before baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to enjoy them, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Pairing Suggestions

To enhance your dining experience, consider pairing these Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. The acidity in these wines complements the richness of the crab and balances the savory flavors of the mushrooms. For a non-alcoholic option, serve them with a refreshing sparkling water infused with lemon or lime.

If you're looking to create a full meal, serve these stuffed mushrooms alongside a light salad or a seafood pasta dish. The mushrooms can also be a wonderful addition to a buffet or potluck spread, as they are easy to transport and serve, ensuring everyone can enjoy a taste of this delectable appetizer.
