Ingredients for Crab Stuffed Portabellas

  • 4 large Portabella mushrooms
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic Clove
  • Crabmeat
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Roasted Sweet Red Peppers
  • Provolone Cheese

How to Make Crab Stuffed Portabellas

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Remove stems from portabella mushrooms and discard. Gently wipe the caps clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Place mushroom caps gill-side up on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and minced garlic.
  5. Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the mushroom caps.
  6. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until mushrooms are slightly softened.
  7. In a separate small bowl, gently combine crab meat and mayonnaise.
  8. Place a few slices of red bell pepper on each mushroom cap.
  9. Top each mushroom cap with the crab mixture.
  10. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  11. Broil for another 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crab is heated through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
