Cheesy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

The last time I made these was New Year’s Eve, and I had forgotten how incredibly tasty they are! What can be bad about crab, cheese and mushrooms? Very simple and so good.

I searched and searched for a recipe that I thought would be good, but none of the recipes I saw had really any seasoning in them (or very little). That’s not really going to work when you have huge mushrooms that don’t have a ton of flavor on their own.

Seasonings

• Maggi seasoning: adds Umami. A lot of recipes call for Worcestershire sauce, but I prefer the Maggi unless I’m making something that I want to distinctly taste like Worcestershire.
• Onion powder: again, adds Umami.
• Cayenne pepper: it’s not enough to make the dish spicy, but does add a subtle kick.

Instructions:

Remove stems of 24 decent sized Baby Bella mushrooms and chop finely. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place caps on rack with the gills facing down. Bake for 7 minutes and remove from oven. Allow the caps to drain and cool for about an hour.

Combine chopped stems with remaining ingredients and add a tablespoon and a half to each cap.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 22 minutes, then broil on high for about 2 minutes to brown tops (watch carefully)

And serve. The crab, cheese and mushrooms make an amazing combo!
