We like to use mild cheddar, colby jack, Mexican blend, or mozzarella cheese.Garlic– Freshly minced garlic or garlic powder will work!Herbs– We use fresh chopped parsley and chives for this recipe. You can also use your favorite fresh herbs instead.Seasoning– Salt and pepper for flavor! You can also add any other favorite seasonings to boost the flavors in the filling.

HOW TO MAKE CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS-

Prep mushrooms– Clean mushrooms under cold water, do not soak in water and pat dry. Remove the stems by popping them off or gently cutting them off, creating a nice pocket for the filling.Filling– In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling.Prep– Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven.Stuff mushrooms– Stuff the mushrooms with the creamy filling. Repeat with the rest of the filling, evenly distributing the filling among all the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms to the prepared baking sheet.Bake– Bake the mushrooms until crispy and the cheese has melted. Sprinkle the mushroom with fresh greens and parmesan cheese and serve.
