Crunchy Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms Recipes

CRISPY CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the stems from 24 large cremini mushrooms.
• Wipe the caps clean with a damp paper towel, then toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Arrange on a baking sheet.
• Finely crush 20 butter crackers (such as Ritz); mix with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup each finely chopped celery and red bell pepper; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add 1 chopped garlic clove; cook 1 minute. Combine 4 ounces cream cheese and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a large bowl; add 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup each grated parmesan, cracker crumbs and chopped parsley, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, the celery mixture and 8 ounces lump crabmeat. Divide among the mushroom caps and sprinkle with the remaining cracker crumbs.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes, then broil until golden. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from the baking sheet.

CRISPY BRIE-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Arrange the mushrooms cap-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Flip the mushrooms cap-side down and stuff a piece of brie inside each.
• Mix the panko, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Mix in the remaining 5 tablespoons melted butter. Spoon a little of the mixture on each mushroom.
• Bake until the mushrooms are softened around the edges, the cheese is melted and the tops are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRISPY STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH HARISSA AND APRICOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the mushroom stems from the caps and chop the stems.
• Place a medium skillet over medium heat, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and let it warm up until it thins out, about 20 seconds. Add mushroom stems, onion and chile and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, harissa, tomato paste, salt and cumin seeds and cook until the tomato paste darkens and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Stirring constantly, cook bread crumbs until lightly toasted, about 4 to 6 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan as the bread crumbs can burn quickly. Remove from heat and immediately scrape bread-crumb mixture into medium mixing bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan, cilantro, dried apricots and lemon zest, tossing well. Taste and season with black pepper and more salt if needed.
• Place mushroom caps on a rimmed sheet pan, cavities facing up. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, stuff the oiled mushroom caps with the seasoned bread-crumb mixture.
• Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan on mushrooms. Bake until the tops are crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges for squeezing.

• Bake until mushrooms are tender and bread crumbs are golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
