Is it OK to wash mushrooms?
America’s Test Kitchen approves of quickly rinsing and spinning mushrooms in a salad spinner to clean them. However, submerging them is not recommended.
You can also wipe them down with a clean, damp kitchen towel.
What do you put in Stuffed Mushrooms?
Packed with a creamy blend of cream cheese, sour cream, spices, cheese, and crab (imitation works too!), these mushrooms are flavor bombs waiting to happen!
What Cheese is Best for Stuffed Mushrooms?
For the filling, I recommend starting with cream cheese, and for an extra layer of texture, you can add a melty cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack, or a flavorful option like Parmesan – there’s no wrong choice here!
How do you make stuffed mushrooms ahead?
Make the filling ahead of time and chill it until you’re ready to stuff the mushrooms. Serve leftover as a dip with crackers or bread for a delicious treat.
While my heart belongs to baby portobellos, white button mushrooms work beautifully too – either way, they’re all moon-and-back delicious!

Instructions
To save on post-baking scrubbing, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, and Italian seasoning, then taste and adjust salt and pepper before stirring in crab meat, scallions, and mozzarella cheese.
Divide the filling evenly among the mushroom caps, placing them on the baking sheet 1 inch apart, and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly.
