Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced
  • 10 ounces portobello mushrooms, medium sized, cleaned and stems removed
  • Diced mushroom stems (from above mushrooms)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Dairy & Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Seafood

  • 4 ounces crabmeat, drained and picked over

Pantry

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter: Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and once hot, add the 4 tablespoons of butter and melt it completely.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the minced red bell pepper to the melted butter and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add the diced mushroom stems and crushed garlic, sautéing for an additional 5 minutes or until tender and fragrant.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Combine Filling: Remove the sauté pan from heat. Add the drained crabmeat, panko breadcrumbs, Old Bay seasoning, parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and salt to the cooked vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Stuff Mushrooms: Using a teaspoon, scoop portions of the crab mixture and fill each portobello mushroom cap generously, lining them up on the prepared pan.
  6. Extra Filling Option: If you have leftover crab mixture, place it in a small ramekin and set it alongside the stuffed mushrooms on the pan.
  7. Drizzle Olive Oil & Bake: Drizzle the mushrooms liberally with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to add moisture and enhance browning. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Remove the stuffed mushrooms from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
  9. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this savory, flavorful appetizer!

Notes

  • Make sure to remove the mushroom stems and dice them finely to use in the filling for extra flavor.
  • Draining and carefully picking over the crabmeat prevents any shell pieces in the filling.
  • Old Bay seasoning adds a classic seafood spice profile but you can adjust this or substitute with your favorite seafood seasoning.
  • Using panko breadcrumbs gives a nice crunchy texture to the stuffing.
  • Drizzling with olive oil before baking helps keep the mushrooms moist and adds richness.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
