Crab stuffed mushrooms are the perfect bite-sized appetizer!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 to 20 mushrooms (about 1 pound of medium mushrooms)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 scallions, minced
  • 4 ounces lump crabmeat
  • 1 cup fresh ground breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt, or to taste
  • Dash freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350 F and lightly butter or spray a baking dish with baking spray. The dish should be large enough to arrange the mushrooms in a single layer.
  2. Briefly rinse the mushrooms and dry with paper towels. Trim ends of the stems. Remove the remaining stems and chop finely.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the mushroom caps with it. Arrange them in the baking dish, cap-side down.
  4. Melt the remaining butter in a medium skillet. Add the chopped stems and green onions. Sauté the vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Stir frequently.
  5. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a medium bowl and add the breadcrumbs, crabmeat, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  6. Fill the mushrooms with the crabmeat mixture, mounding on each mushroom.
  7. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the filling is hot and the mushrooms are tender.
