Equipment
Ingredients
- 20 cremini or baby bell mushrooms
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoon shallot finely diced
- ¼ c parmesan cheese freshly grated, reserve 1 tbsp
- ¼ c fresh parsley chopped, plus more for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ c gluten free panko
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Prepare a sheet pan by greasing it with olive oil or using parchment paper sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Remove the stems of the mushrooms. Discard or save them. Clean the mushrooms by removing the dirt with a cloth. Using a spoon or small pairing knife, remove the brown gills of the mushrooms on the inside cavity.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the crab meat, cream cheese, shallot, parmesan cheese (reserving 1 tablespoon), and parsley. Combine.
- Place the mushrooms on the sheet pan. Fill the mushroom cavities with the crab filling.
- Melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in the gluten-free panko.
- Top the mushrooms with the panko and the reserved parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Top with the reserved parsley as a garnish before serving.
Notes
Mushrooms will naturally get a touch soggy when cooking. You can place the mushrooms on a wire rack over a sheet pan to avoid having the mushrooms sit in juice.
Also, make sure you take out the brown gills inside the cavity to help with the juiciness of the mushrooms.
If you would like to serve this as a main course, you can use portobello mushrooms and double the crab filling.
Crab stuffed mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
To reheat them, place them on a lined baking sheet and reheat at 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit until warm. I like to broil mine for a minute or so as well to crisp them back up.
