directions

  • Spray a 9x12-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Use an additional baking dish if needed.
  • Drizzle olive oil or butter in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean.
  • Remove stems, set aside caps and chop stems to add to filling.
  • In a medium bowl, mix crabmeat, chopped mushroom stems, onion, dry mustard, 1 cup parmesan cheese, SOFT bread crumbs (fresh bread frozen and then shredded), parsley, red and black pepper, and garlic salt.
  • Mix well and then stir in egg and mayonnaise.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to mound filling onto each mushroom cap.
  • Melt butter and mix in garlic salt and drizzle over the filled mushrooms.
  • Mound a generous portion of the shredded parmesan cheese on top of each filled mushroom. Note: For softer, melted cheese, you may want to use mozzarella cheese or brick cheese for the topping.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 425°F.
  • Best served hot.
  • Can be prepared ahead, refrigerated and then baked just before serving (add 7-10 minutes additional baking time).

Questions & Replies

  1. Why would you spray the baking dish with cooking spray AND then drizzle with olive oil? Couldn't you just use one or the other?!
     
  2. I desperately want to make crab stuffed mushrooms for holiday appetizers and this recipe looks like it's real tasty, however, I have a family member who absolutely does not like onions, would the taste be so different if I leave them out? I've searched and cannot find a recipe without onion, green or otherwise. Thanks for any input, Happy Holidays
     
  3. Can I use canned crabmeat?
     
  4. Hi, I usually don't like to tweak recipe's but I would like to know if I can sub cream cheese for mayo because family likes better.
     
  5. can I make the stuffing early

  2. One word....YUM!!!<br/>Only change made was pressed fresh garlic in melted butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.<br/>Made for friends and they absolutely flipped over these.
     
  3. Just made these! Very good! Tweaked based on ingredients available. I used chopped green onion for the onion, and garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Yum!
     
  4. Awesome!!!! I also used fresh minced garlic and shallots in place of onions. I also used Panko bread crumbs and in the butter I drizzled over mushrooms, I sprinkled a little Old Bay dry seasoning. I also used Parmesan for the stuffing, but used mozzarella to top them instead of Parmesan. This is my new stuffed mushroom recipe!!!!
     
  5. I would of given five stars but I made changes. I added one package of cream cheese instead of the mayo and egg. Used two cloves of fresh mince garlic and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt, I'm a garlic lover and can't handle too much salt. Also I added a heaping tablespoon of horseradish, which really adds a full flavor and brings everything together. Lastly I added about 1/8 of a cup of melted butter just for little extra. I know its a lot of changes, but I pretty much combined all the things I like from two different recipes that were ok but missing a few things. Mushroom caps usually are a hit a any gathering, but I am still shocked about how quickly two cookie sheets of these babies went. I will be making these again and again!

  1. I made these last night in Portabella mushrooms they were fantastic. Note from Betty Crocker. Lol I also used fresh minced garlic and shallots in place of onions. I also used Panko bread crumbs and in the butter I drizzled over mushrooms, I sprinkled a little Old Bay dry seasoning. I also used Parmesan for the stuffing, but used mozzarella to top them instead of Parmesan. This is my new stuffed mushroom recipe!!!!
     
  2. I also used panko bread crumbs but the major change I made was I used Mexican conjita cheese instead of parmesan in the mix and mozzarella cheese on top. This brought the mushrooms to a whole new level. Everyone said they were the best they've ever had.
