CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Crab Stuffed Mushrooms image

This tasty appetizer seasoned with thyme, oregano, and savory. Choose good sized mushrooms, about 2 inches across. When cleaning mushrooms, don't run them under water. They are like little sponges, and will absorb it; just wipe them clean with a damp towel. The filling can be made with fresh, canned, or imitation crabmeat. If using canned, be sure to rinse it first.

CREOLE CRAB-STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Creole Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms image

Old Bay® and Creole seasoning elevate this crab and cream cheese filling to another level. Great party food!

Provided by amydawn319

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon butter for greasing, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) package cremini mushrooms
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound fresh crabmeat
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter.
  • Wash mushrooms and remove stems. Scrape out mushroom caps to make an ample "bowl" for the filling.
  • Mix cream cheese, 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese, green onions, seafood seasoning, Creole seasoning, and garlic powder together until thoroughly combined. Crumble in crabmeat, making sure there are no large chunks so the consistency works well for stuffing. Mix in bread crumbs.
  • Start forming a ball of stuffing and place it in a mushroom cap, making the mushroom cap form-fit the ball. The stuffing should be ample so the mushroom cap wraps around the bottom half of the ball. Repeat to stuff remaining mushrooms, then transfer into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Colby-Jack on top, smoothing it down so it sticks to the stuffing.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

SPICY CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Spicy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms image

I found this recipe on another website but it is an Emeril Lagasse recipe. These are simple to make and really good. I find that stuffed mushrooms with bread crumbs tend to be dry. These have no bread crumbs, therefore, they are very juicy and moist. They have a little kick to them. I did add a little more mayonnaise as I thought the mixture was a little dry. I also omitted using the radicchio. I used a large can of crab claws found in the refrigerator section. The recipe originally calls for 12 ounces of mushrooms but I found that I had alot of mixture left over. These can be made ahead of time and then pop them in the oven at the last minute.
