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.

1 cup Clarified Butter
3 large egg yolks
½ Tbls fresh lemon juice
½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
½ Tbls good quality drinking dry Sherry
½ Tbls minced Fresh Tarragon

Place glass mixing bowl over boiling water making sure the bottom does not touch the water, and whisk together butter, old bay, tarragon, and Sherry. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and water until fluffy. Then slowly temper eggs by whisking a little of the hot butter mixture. Then slowly poor egg mixture into glass bowl and whisk until you have created a thick emulsification that has the texture of a soft pudding.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 appetizer portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large (4 to 5-ounce) portobello mushroom caps, stemmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup small-diced onions
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1/3 cup grated Gruyere
4 teaspoons bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss the mushroom caps with the 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

Bring the milk to a boil and reduce to a simmer, season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper and the nutmeg.
  • Cook the bechamel sauce for 5 minutes before removing from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before folding in the crabmeat and cheese. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup of the bechamel over each mushroom cap and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the bread crumb mixture over each stuffed mushroom. Place in the oven and roast until the bechamel is bubbling and lightly browned on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
