Steps:
- 1. In a mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese with shredded crab meat. Everyone has their own taste as to how much crab to add. I just make sure there is more cream cheese than crab.
- 2. Add lemon pepper to taste. In my experience more is better so don't be shy with it. Taste it as you go and remember you can always add more.
- 3. Stuff each individual mushroom cap and place in a microwave safe glass baking dish making sure the size of the dish will fit in your microwave.
- 4. Place several pats of butter evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Depending on the size of the dish as to how many pats of butter. You don't want them swimming in butter but want them moist while cooking and the butter adds flavor. I average about 6 or so.
- 5. Cover the dish with Saran Wrap and place in the microwave.
- 6. Cook on high. The time will vary for each microwave. I usually start out with about 4-5 minutes and add minutes as I go if needed. Get a feel for how your microwave cooks them and be sure not to overcook. You don't want the cheese mixture to cook over into the pan.
- 7. That is all there is to it. Enjoy!!!
- 8. Note: This mixture is fantastic to use as a wonton filler as well!
- 9. Note: These are excellent as they are but you can add other ingredients to suit your taste such as crumbled bacon, etc. If you add onion go sparingly so as not to drown out the taste of the crab. Once cooked in the microwave you could add your choice of shredded cheese on top and pop them in the oven on a low broil to melt the cheese.
Tips:
- Choose firm and fresh mushrooms. Avoid limp or discolored ones.
- Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not soak them in water, as this will make them soggy.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms. You can use a spoon or your fingers to do this.
- Chop the mushroom stems and add them to the filling. This will help to add flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of fillings to stuff the mushrooms. Some popular options include crab, shrimp, sausage, bacon, cheese, and vegetables.
- Season the filling with herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the mushrooms tightly with the filling. You can use a spoon or your fingers to do this.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms in a microwave-safe dish. Add a little bit of water to the bottom of the dish. This will help to keep the mushrooms moist.
- Microwave the stuffed mushrooms on high for 2-3 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of mushrooms and the filling.
- Serve the stuffed mushrooms immediately, while they are still hot.
