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.

- In a bowl mix equal parts crab to cream cheese. Season with Old Bay Seasoning.
- Stop eating the filling!

- Stop eating the mushrooms!

- Set oven to broil and just brown the tops a bit, careful not to melt the cream cheese into molten lava.

- Be careful they are hot. Serve after a few minutes cooling time.
- What to do with the excess stuffing? Well it is excellent in an omelet! Also makes nice tea sandwiches.

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.

Tips for Making Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms:
- Choose Fresh, Large Mushrooms: Select large, firm mushrooms with intact stems. Avoid mushrooms with bruises or blemishes.
- Properly Clean the Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. Do not rinse the mushrooms under running water, as this can make them soggy.
- Remove the Mushroom Stems Easily: Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the mushroom stems. This creates a cavity for the crab stuffing.
- Cook the Crab Meat Correctly: If using fresh crab meat, boil or steam it briefly just until cooked through. Overcooking can make the crab tough and rubbery.
- Make a Flavorful Stuffing: Combine the crab meat with a variety of flavorful ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, herbs, spices, and cheese. Adjust the seasonings to your preference.
- Stuff the Mushrooms Evenly: Fill the mushroom caps evenly with the crab stuffing, taking care not to overfill them.
- Bake until Golden Brown: Bake the stuffed mushrooms in a preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and the stuffing is heated through.
Conclusion:
Crab-stuffed mushrooms are an elegant and delicious appetizer or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, and with a few simple tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are serving them at a special occasion dinner or a casual gathering, these savory mushrooms are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
