Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

image_pdfimage_print

These tasty crab-stuffed mushrooms are seasoned with thyme, oregano, and savory. Choose good-sized mushrooms for this appetizer, about 2 inches across. When cleaning mushrooms, don’t run them under water; they’re like little sponges and will absorb it. Just wipe them clean with a damp towel instead.

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces crabmeat
  • 5 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground savory
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine crabmeat, green onions, thyme, oregano, savory, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix in mayonnaise and 1/4 cup Parmesan until well combined. Refrigerate filling until ready to use.
  3. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Remove stems. Spoon out the gills and the base of the stem, making deep cups. Discard gills and stems.
  4. Fill mushroom caps with rounded teaspoonfuls of filling and place them in an ungreased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan and paprika.
  5. Bake mushrooms in preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
