    About Brie and Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

    If you like stuffed mushrooms, I highly recommend making these brie and crab stuffed mushrooms.

    They're the best stuffed mushrooms I've ever had. Seriously.

    I love that they are a veggie-filled appetizer that is an excellent source of protein.

    Recipe Tips

    *Be sure you bake the mushrooms before you stuff them. You need them to release their juices before stuffing. Otherwise, you'll have really watery mushrooms which is unpleasant.

    *Don't waste your money on jumbo lump crab meat because it'll break up when you're stirring the mixture & stuffing the mushrooms.

    *Lemon zest and lemon juice are must-haves for this crab-stuffed mushroom recipe. They brighten the mushrooms and make them taste spectacular.

    *If you can find the "stuffer mushrooms" at the grocery store, buy those. If not, just buy a container with larger mushrooms.

    For recipe testing, I bought 2 (14-ounce) containers of "stuffer mushrooms" and ended up with about 24 mushrooms.

    *Don't forget to go through the crab meat to make sure there are no shells or anything.

    How To Make Allergy-friendly

    These crab-stuffed mushrooms are naturally gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, and soy-free. Because of the brie, cream cheese, and Parmesan, they have dairy.

    Nutrition Benefits

    One serving of brie and crab stuffed mushrooms provides 14 grams of protein, 1 gram of fiber, 13% RDA of potassium, and 11% RDA of calcium.

    Plus, they're full of veggies including mushrooms, onions, and garlic - all of which are packed with nutrients.

    What To Serve With Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

    Crab Stuffed Mushrooms aren't only for an appetizer or snack.

    These are also really tasty on a bed of lettuce with a little lemon-herb vinaigrette.

    Serve them for dinner with a side of smashed potatoes (or any potatoes) or grains for a satisfying meal.

    Ingredients

    • 2 containers large mushrooms {about 24 large/stuffer mushrooms}
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
    • ½ onion diced
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 2 tablespoon cream cheese
    • 8 oz Brie rind removed & cut into chunks
    • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest {reserve lemon to squeeze over mushrooms}
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or rosemary plus more for garnish
    • 1 cup crab meat 8 oz., lump or claw

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
    • Take stems out of mushrooms & set aside. Toss mushroom caps with ½ tablespoon olive oil, and arrange on lined baking sheet with the gill side down.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes until they release their juices. Pat dry & dry baking sheet if needed. Set aside.
    • Meanwhile, dice mushroom stems. Add remaining ½ tablespoon oil to a large skillet and sauté onions & diced mushroom steams until softened, about 7-10 minutes.
    • Add in garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in all the cheeses, lemon zest, salt, and parsley. Stir until cheese completely melts.
    • Gently fold in crab meat {try not to break it up too much}.
    • Fill mushroom caps evenly with crab meat mixture. Place on baking sheet, and bake for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over mushrooms, and sprinkle with extra parsley if desired.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    *Look for 14-ounce containers of stuffer mushrooms or just buy two 8-ounce containers of large mushrooms.
