Choose Fresh Crab: For the best flavor, use fresh or high-quality canned lump crab meat.
Don’t Overfill: While it’s tempting to overstuff, keep the filling level to avoid spillage during baking.
Customize: Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick, or swap the Parmesan for Gruyère cheese for a different flavor profile.

Stuffed mushrooms always make me smile–and especially with crab meat. I really could use a new dutch oven and I probably would be making these appetizers for me and not just for guest!
I have a lot about Calphalon cookware over the years and have always wanted to try it. If we are serving appetizers it's usually a variety.
I have an aversion to mushrooms, but my wife would be all over this. Crab is her favorite seafood (well, next to lobster).
Believe it or not crab is one of those things I have not had a lot of. I do love mushrooms and order them often I believe this dish would be something I would love to try
thanks for sharing come see what we shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
I have not had crab ever, these look really good to make. I don't think I have ever had stuffed mushrooms like this.
Ooo these sure do look mouthwatering!! {client}
I have this cookware and I absolutely love it! The best I have ever had. I need to add to my collection. Thanks for the great appetizer recipe too. Sounds delicious.
These look really amazing. I want to make them for a party soon!
I've made crab mushrooms a few times but this recipe sounds great. i will have to try it!
Mushrooms seem to be very divisive, but my family loves them! I haven't stuffed mine with crab before, but this looks seriously delicious.
