Serving Suggestions

🍷 Pair with White Wine – A glass of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc complements the crab flavors.
🥗 Serve with a Fresh Salad – A light arugula or spinach salad balances the richness.
🌶 Spice It Up – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a little heat!

Pro Tips for the Best Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

✔ Use Fresh Crab Meat – It provides the best flavor, but canned or imitation crab works too.
✔ Don’t Overbake – Mushrooms release water when overcooked, so keep an eye on them.
✔ Make Them Ahead – Prepare the filling in advance and stuff the mushrooms just before baking.
✔ Try Different Cheeses – Swap Parmesan for Gruyère or sharp cheddar for a unique twist.
