Crab Imperial stuffed portobellos image

Crab imperial baked in a Ramekin just got UPGRADED. Feel free to omit the cheese if you choose or experiment with different types of cheese. I have used mozzarella, provolone, Swiss, Fontina and Asiago. All with good results, but i initially added to keep the mushroom moisture from entering the Imperial

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large portobello mushrooms
1/2 lb backfin or lump crab meat
1-2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 egg white
1/4 c fine chop green pepper
2-3 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 to 1/2 tsp old bay
1/4 c plain bread crumbs
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
paprika
2 slice cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Place cookie sheet or glass casserole dish in oven and preheat to 400
  • 2. Wipe any loose dirt off of mushroom caps with a dry paper towel. Scrape gills off underside with the edge of a spoon. And cut stem off at base.
  • 3. Places slice of cheese on each mushroom cap
  • 4. Pick through crab meat to make sure there's no shells
  • 5. Chefs Note Start with 1 tbsp of mayonnaise and add more if needed. We're just looking to bind the crab meat. If you feel that it's to moist just add another sprinkle of bread crumbs
  • 6. Add remaining ingredients ( except paprika ) and mix into crab meat
  • 7. Divide mixture and scoop into mushroom caps, leveling and spreading evenly. Take a small scoop of mayonnaise and thinly spread across the top of crab meat to seal
  • 8. Sprinkle top with paprika
  • 9. Place mushrooms on preheated cookie sheet, or glass casserole dish put in oven and bake for 20 minutes
