How To Make Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed mushrooms are so easy to make, and always a hit at parties and during game day.
Let me walk you through how to make these Crab Stuffed Mushrooms.
Remove Mushroom Stems
First wash the mushrooms by using a damp paper towel and wiping off any excess dirt from the mushroom caps.
Then, gently rock the stem back and forth until it loosens from the cap and remove it completely. You can discard the stems.
To create an even bigger cavity for your crab filling, use a spoon to scrap any extra membranes out of the mushroom cap.
Combine Crab Filling
In a small bowl combing the softened cream cheese, crab, kewpie mayo, soy sauce, green onions and garlic powder. If desired, you can add a bit of Sriracha sauce to give it some extra spice.
Stuff Mushrooms
Place the mushroom caps, open-side up on a baking sheet. Divide the creamy crab filling between the mushrooms using spoon or small cookie scoop.
Bake Mushrooms
Place the pan of mushrooms in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes to bake.
The mushrooms will start to release some moisture from the bottom and the tops will be a light golden brown.
Make Ahead and Storage
This crab stuffed mushroom recipe can be made ahead by filling the mushrooms with the crab mixture, (do not bake yet) cover, and place in the fridge for up to 48 hours. When you’re ready to serve, then remove them from the oven and bake according to the recipe card below.
Baked stuffed mushrooms can be placed in the fridge for up to 3 days, but I think they taste best when freshly baked.
I do NOT recommend freezing stuffed mushrooms.
