With their tender texture and delicate flavor, crab stuffed mushrooms make for an elegant and delectable appetizer or main course. These stuffed mushrooms are filled with a mixture of crab meat, cream cheese, herbs, and breadcrumbs, then baked until golden brown. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, but a horseradish dipping sauce is a classic choice that perfectly complements the crab stuffing. Horseradish has a sharp, spicy flavor that adds a nice kick to the rich, creamy stuffing.

CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH HORSERADISH DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl combine crab meat, pepper, chives, egg, mustard, mayo, old bay (I use a good deal of old bay). Stir to mix and add panko, do not add too much you just want enough for the mixture to bind together. remove stems from the mushrooms, using a spoon hollow out the centers and then toss mushrooms with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Using about 1-2 tablespoons of filling stuff crab filling into the mushrooms. Place on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is golden. You don't want to over cook the mushrooms or they will be too moist and the filling will become soggy. For the Horseradish Dipping Sauce: Stir to combine. For a fuller fat version you can use more mayo or substitute the mayo in this recipe for horseradish cream.

CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS
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.

- Remove the stems. Use a sharp knife to carefully twist and remove the stems from the mushrooms. Save the stems for another use, such as soup or stock.
- Stuff the mushrooms. Fill the mushroom caps with your favorite stuffing mixture. Be careful not to overstuff the mushrooms, as this will make them difficult to eat.
- Bake the mushrooms. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
- Serve the mushrooms. Serve the stuffed mushrooms immediately, while they are hot and juicy. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
