Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are a delicious gourmet appetizer recipe. These are always a favorite for Thanksgiving and Christmas and can be assembled ahead of time.

Cream Cheese, Mayonnaise, Sour Cream, Lumb Dungeness Crab Meat, Parmesan Cheese, Chives, Dill and Seasoning makes the filling for these Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. Then they are topped with a buttery Panko Bread Crumb Topping. These never last long for parties.

Colt and I decided to make Crab Stuffed Mushrooms with the last crab we had remaining in the freezer. Crab is always considered a treat in our house even when were lucky enough to have a friend drop off a few from a day of crabbing. Yes, we are lucky enough to have friends that occasionally share their catch. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect way to stretch crab when you only have a 1/2- 3/4lb to use and a fun treat for a special occasion.

I love mushrooms, but Lorna not so much; however,  if I fill them with crab I can't seem to keep her hands off of them.

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are definitely a family favorite, and fun to share with company. Button or crimini mushrooms are filled with a creamy, cheesy, herb, mushroom, and crab filling based on my Hot Crab Dip, then covered with a panko, parmesan topping, for a little crunch! 

These little gems can be prepped ahead of time and then popped in the oven until golden brown for an easy entertaining appetizer.
