Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Why reserve the fun, fancy recipes only for special occasions? Crab-stuffed mushrooms are perfect for any day, whether you’re cooking for one or a crowd of a hundred!

This treat is too simple to make, I promise you! Start with delicious, creamy fresh mushroom caps, paying attention to wipe away any dirt or other oddities from their flesh. If you can’t find just the mushroom caps at your grocery store, the mushrooms in the container with the stems will work! Gently hold the cap of the mushroom in one hand, then grab the stem with your other hand at the very top where it meets the cap. Gently pull – it will pop off in one piece easily. No need to scoop out the gills of the mushroom, those will melt down and hold onto the yummy crab filling you’ll prep. 

Feel free to use fresh, whole crabmeat for this if you have access to it, otherwise, the canned option works great!  A good tip is to let the cream cheese soften a bit at room temperature, so when you begin to mix the filling, the hardness of the cream cheese won’t break up those tender lumps of crabmeat too much. Once you have your mixture into a homogenous mixture, scoop it with a spoon (or a scooper, if you’re fancy!) into the mushroom cap.
