Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Large white or cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Cooked crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms and set the mushroom caps aside. Finely chop the stems for the filling.
3. In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, fresh basil, the sautéed mushroom stems and garlic mixture, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
5. Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the crab mixture. Slightly mound the filling to create a dome shape.
6. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
9. Serve warm and enjoy your Crab Fresh Basil Stuffed Mushrooms!
