Why Use Seafood For Stuffed Mushrooms?

Stuffed mushrooms are the perfect vessel for just about any filling, especially seafood! Lump crab meat is a low maintenance filling that requires minimal prep work. It’s a combination of jumbo lump and body meat of the crab. It is already flaked and ready to be tossed with the rest of the ingredients. Crab meat is an excellent source of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

All About The Mushrooms

Baby portobello mushrooms, also called cremini mushrooms have delicious umami flavor, great as an appetizer or snack-size stuffed mushroom. You can also use larger portobello mushrooms if you desire for an entrée size portion. Look for medium portobello mushrooms so there’s plenty of room to add the filling. Remove the stem with a paring knife and rinse off any dirt on the mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are a low-calorie vegetable at just around 20 calories per serving and are full of vitamins and minerals.

Topping And Filling Information

The Panko topping is made with butter and Parmesan cheese to send the flavor over the top and add texture. Since the crab meat is already cooked, the mushrooms only need to bake long enough to crisp the topping and tenderize the mushrooms. Cream cheese adds rich flavor and signature creaminess along with a touch of mayonnaise and herbs like garlic and green onion. Roasted red peppers add zip and depth to the filling.
