Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms

A perfect snack for any dinner, party, or a fancy “Girl’s Night In”, these Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms combine the simplicity of crab cakes with the fun of stuffed mushrooms.

What comes to mind when you think “Girl’s Night Out”?

Getting dressed up. Hitting a nice restaurant with your best friends. Having a couple of fruity cocktails. Maybe even flirting with someone on the dance floor?

I love a good GNO, but many times, I’m just way too tired and lazy to put in all the extra effort of getting ready to go out and spend a big chunk of money on quality time with my girls.

Which is why I enjoy the alternative Girl’s Night IN so much – same quality time, minimal effort, delicious homemade food and drinks, and, if you have cool friends like I do, you may not have to wear more than your pajamas!

For the fancier Girl’s Night In, though, I like to bring snazzy little appetizers like tomato-basil bruschetta, and these Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms, both of which pair perfectly with a cold Pinot Grigio.

Friends…I’m in desperate need of a fantastic Girl’s Night In.

My Girl’s Night Out situation seems constantly covered.

Visiting the theme parks with Angel.

Having a couple of beers after work with Jerrica.

Playing foodie critic with Lara.

I’m always bouncing around with my girlfriends. I’d be lying if I said I never wished I could do it all from the comfort of my wonderful couch.

These Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect party appetizer!

They’re fancy enough to fit in at any holiday party, but not so stuffy that football fans won’t grab them at your Game Day shindig.

We’re talking savory butter-baked mushroom caps, topped with the cutest, tiniest little crab cake.

You might be hard-pressed to keep yourself from eating them al yourself.

I recommend a double batch!

How To Make Crab Stuffed Mushrooms:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean mushrooms and reserve stems.
2. Brush mushroom caps with melted butter and bake for 10 minutes.
3. Place the baked mushrooms in a colander and allow to drain the excess moisture.
4. In a small pan, saute garlic and mushroom stems together in butter until tender.
5. Cool slightly before mixing them together with diced celery, scallions, breadcrumbs, egg, dijon, mayo, salt, and peppers.
6. Scoop ½ to 1 tablespoon crab cake mixture on top of upside-down mushroom caps. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then bake another 10 minutes.
