Easy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine crabmeat, green onions, herbs, and pepper. Mix in mayonnaise and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until well combined. Refrigerate filling until ready for use.
• Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Remove stems. Spoon out the gills and the base of the stem, making deep cups. Discard gills and stems. Fill the mushroom caps with rounded teaspoonfuls of filling, and place them in an ungreased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan and paprika.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve immediately

Steps:

• Wash and take the stems out of the mushrooms,set aside.
• Combine green onions,garlic,margarine,cream cheese, and seasoning in a bowl and microwave on high for 1 min, stir, microwave again for 1 minute.
• Stir and add crab, mushrooms and parmesan.
• At this point, the mixture should be fairly thick,(and not too buttery, you'll be able to tell if you see it on the edges of the bowl -- if you see 'too much' add some bread crumbs for a better outcome) You want a thick porridge like consistency at this point.
• You could now store this mixture or if you had stuffed the mushrooms -- they can be refrigerated and heated and served the next day.
• Stuff mushroom caps and top with additional sprinkle of bread crumbs and/or cheese, if desired.
• Heat at 375 for 10-20 mins, or until bubbling hot.
• Let rest for about 5-10 mins coz the fillings are gonna be HOT!
• The reason this recipe is so easy is because steps can be done ahead of time and it's still turns out delicious every single time we do this. Oh -- and it's SOOOO versatile -- got one ingredient but not other? -- change it -- it's still great :).

Steps:

• 1. In a mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese with shredded crab meat. Everyone has their own taste as to how much crab to add. I just make sure there is more cream cheese than crab.
• 2. Add lemon pepper to taste. In my experience more is better so don't be shy with it. Taste it as you go and remember you can always add more.
• 3. Stuff each individual mushroom cap and place in a microwave safe glass baking dish making sure the size of the dish will fit in your microwave.
• 4. Place several pats of butter evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Depending on the size of the dish as to how many pats of butter. You don't want them swimming in butter but want them moist while cooking and the butter adds flavor. I average about 6 or so.
• 5. Cover the dish with Saran Wrap and place in the microwave.
• 6. Cook on high. The time will vary for each microwave. I usually start out with about 4-5 minutes and add minutes as I go if needed. Get a feel for how your microwave cooks them and be sure not to overcook. You don't want the cheese mixture to cook over into the pan.
• 7. That is all there is to it. Enjoy!!!
• 8. Note: This mixture is fantastic to use as a wonton filler as well!
• 9. Note: These are excellent as they are but you can add other ingredients to suit your taste such as crumbled bacon, etc. If you add onion go sparingly so as not to drown out the taste of the crab. Once cooked in the microwave you could add your choice of shredded cheese on top and pop them in the oven on a low broil to melt the cheese.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a bowl (one minute on FULL power).
• Remove stems from mushrooms and chop the stems finely. Add breadcrumbs to the melted butter and stir. Combine chopped stems and spring onions to this mixture.
• Place filling into the mushroom caps and top with grated cheese. Please Note: If filling becomes stiff and hard to handle soften in Microwave oven for 30 seconds.
• Place mushrooms in a circle on a flat serving dish and microwave on HIGH/FULL POWER for 3-4 minutes or until just soft.
• Serve as a side dish or as an entree.
