Crab stuffed mushrooms image

Found on Facebook and can't wait to try it! Always hard to find a good stuffed mushroom recipe but this looks like the winner! The recipe called for claw meat but I will be using backfin or regular. Born and raised in Maryland so I know backfin will give it a better flavor!

Number Of Ingredients 15

35 fresh mushrooms, white or portabella medium to larger size
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 c celery, finely chopped
2 Tbsp onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 lb crab meat, your choice but would use anything better than claw meat
2 c oyster crackers, crushed
1/2 c cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c water
1 c shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Saute celery, onion and red bell pepper in butter for 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool in refrigerator.
  • 2. While vegetables cool, wipe mushrooms clean and remove stems. Finely chop half of the mushrooms stems and discard other half or save for other use.
  • 3. Combine the cooled vegetables, chopped mushroom stems and all other ingredients except for parmesan cheese and mix well.
  • 4. Place mushroom caps in buttered mini muffin pans or in a large buttered pyrex dish, big enough to hold all the mushrooms. Spoon 1 teaspoon of stuffing mix into each mushroom. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese.
  • 5. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
