Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Make The Perfect Party Appetizer

Before you know it, we’ll be getting ready for the new year and thinking about party food, so I thought this was a good time to jump ahead to party planning.

What’s Needed To Make The Crab Stuffing For Stuffed Mushrooms

To make these simple crab stuffed mushrooms you need crab meat, lemons, piquante peppers, mayonnaise, chives, and green onions.

I’ve made this recipe using both fresh and canned crab (yes, canned – it’s better than you’d imagine) so if you’re in a place that you can easily get fresh seafood, you can still easily make this dish.

To prepare a mushroom to be stuffed, clean and trim off the ends of stems from mushrooms. Then pop what’s left of the stem out of the cap.

Add the chopped piquante peppers, chives, and green onions.

Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, and parsley. 

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Season with salt and pepper.

Mix well to combine.

How to Make Easy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Add the prepared mushroom caps to a pan lined with nonstick foil.

Fill with the crabmeat filling.

Top with grated Parmesan Cheese.

Bake until golden brown and serve warm.

Cook’s Tips:

• Easily fill the mushrooms by using a small spring release scoop (like a cookie scoop).
• Make-ahead up to 3 hours before serving by stuffing and then cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
