These delicious little crab stuffed mushrooms are perfect appetizers for holiday parties or any special gathering. They may be small but are packed with loads of flavor. It’ll be hard to stop at just a couple of these heavenly morsels!
Ingredients
- 8.8 oz white mushrooms
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2.8 oz cooked picked crab meat
- 2.1 oz crème fraiche
- 0.4 oz finely grated Parmesan
- 1 green onion very thinly sliced
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Finely grated zest of ½ lemon
- Small handful of snipped chives to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (200°C) and line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
- Gently remove the stalks from the mushrooms by nudging them side-to-side until they pop out. Set them aside for use in other recipes. Peel the mushrooms so they are pretty in shape. Place in a bowl and gently toss in the olive oil. Spread them out on the baking tray, gills side-up.
- Combine the crab meat (drain it well to prevent a watery mix), crème Fraiche, grated Parmesan, and sliced salad onion in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
- Use two teaspoons to drop small amounts of the crab mixture into each mushroom. The mixture is fairly stiff, so it shouldn’t spill out and can be piled relatively high.
- Bake on the middle shelf in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove and gently tilt each mushroom to the side to allow excess moisture to run off.
- Serve warm garnished with finely grated lemon zest and snipped chives.
