Crab Stuffed Portabella

by Crab-O-Licious
(USA)

This crab stuffed portabella recipe was inspired, again, by Fred Thompson's "Crazy For Crab" cookbook. In his recipe he used smaller sized mushrooms and to be honest, I'm not that talented to stuffed them without breaking the smaller sized whole mushroom, so I used the recipe with portabella's and WOW! What a great idea!
Crab stuffed portabella turned out to be one of our absolute favorite "Crab-O-Licious" recipes!

Ingredients:

1 Large Egg-slightly beaten

1 Cup-Mayonnaise

2 Cups-Dry Bread Crumbs (whole wheat)

1/2 Teaspoon-White Pepper

1 Teaspoon-Salt (omit with Dungeness)

2 Tablespoons-Fresh Parsley-chopped

1 Pound-Crab Meat

1 Large-Portabella Mushroom

1/2 Cup-Mayo

1 Cup-Heavy Cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take your portabella and carefully carve out the cap and stem, leaving them together, so you have the mushroom head and cap and stem for topping; set aside.

Mix egg, first cup of may, bread crumbs, pepper, salt and parsley together well. Gently fold in the crab meat.

Lightly grease a small baking sheet, or as I used in picture above for easy clean up, line with tin foil and spray foil or pan lightly with cooking spray.

Place the mushroom, top side down into baking sheet. Stuff with mixture and top with cap and stem.

Mix together the 1/2 cup of mayo and heavy cream and pour over the entire mushroom area.

Bake until golden brown for about 45 minutes.

Serves 4 or 2 real hungry people!

There's this Bon Jovi song that is played sometimes on a show called "Deadliest Catch", which, if you've never seen it, is about catching crab for market in a crabbing boat. There was an autograph signing by the band in New York just two days ago, and I wanted so badly to be able to just walk up to those guys face to face, but in such a hugely populated place as New York
City, and they were only taking 500 people, and it's so far away for me, what were my chances. Soooooo, this is my I'm sooo bummed out comfort food recuperation recipe try. Being as I've made many different recipes of crab-stuffed mushrooms, I couldn't help but have curiosity toward one so totally different than anything I've tried.
I'll let you know what I think of this recipe later,........ it's in the oven now!

ps:
Your recipe calls for 1 large portabella----it must be the size of a dinner plate, and I couldn't find one that big, so I used smaller ones.
I bet Jon Bon Jovi and his band help promote the sale of alot of crabmeat on days like this......bummer.

LOL! Love message! I would have loved to be that close Bon Jovi!!! I'm bummed, too, that you didn't get close enough to get a signed autograph, but doubly encouraged that you would find one of our signature recipes a great comfort! Hope you like it!
I did manage to find a BIG portabella mushroom. It WAS HUGE! Haven't found one that big since, so I usually get 2 or 3 when making this recipe after that one. Again...hope you liked it!
