Gluten-free crab filling stuffed into mushrooms and covered with a blanket of cheese, these crab stuffed mushrooms are amazing for a crowd or just for you.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 baby bella mushrooms
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the filling:
- 2 (6-ounce) can crab meat, drained
- 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups Italian blend cheese, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Grease a baking sheet with cooking oil spray or cooking oil.
- Rinse and dry the baby bella mushrooms with paper towels. Remove stems and chop the stems finely. Place the chopped stems in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and switch to low heat and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the butter to be infused by the garlic.
- Now, prepare the filling. Add crab meat, shallots, mustard, parsley, 1 cup of cheese, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sea salt and garlic powder in the mixing bowl together with the chopped mushroom stems. Mix well.
- Stir in egg and mayonnaise. Mix again until all ingredients are blended evenly.
- Use a spoon, stuff the mushrooms with the crab mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet. (Use an additional baking sheet if necessary.)
- Drizzle infused butter onto each stuffed mushroom. Make sure to get some garlic bits on each mushroom too.
- Add a generous amount of cheese on top of each mushroom. Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
I had some extra filling left because some of my mushrooms were really small. When picking your mushrooms, select decent sized ones so that you can get more filling in them.
