Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 24 medium white mushrooms, stems removed and wiped clean
- 3 tablespoons panko
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1/4 pound fresh lump crabmeat
- 1/4 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Heat the oven to broil and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Line a large plate with paper towels; set aside.
- Coat a baking sheet with olive oil and place in the oven for 2 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly arrange mushrooms, cap side down and 1 inch apart, on the baking sheet.
- Broil until the surface of the caps touching the baking sheet is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer mushrooms to the paper-towel-lined plate, browned side up, discarding any moisture collected inside the caps; set aside.
- Wipe the baking sheet dry with a paper towel; set aside.
- Place panko in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Toast, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
- Wipe any crumbs from the pan with a paper towel.
- Reduce heat to medium, return the pan to heat, and melt butter until foaming.
- Add shallot, paprika, salt, and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until shallot has softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add sherry and cook until the alcohol smell has dissipated, about 2 minutes.
- Add toasted panko and stir to combine.
- Remove mixture to a medium bowl and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, transfer mushrooms, cap side down and 1 inch apart, to the dried baking sheet.
- Add crabmeat, cheese, and lemon juice to the reserved shallot mixture and gently fold until evenly incorporated.
- Divide filling evenly among mushrooms.
- Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
