Ingredients
1 tbsp chopped celery
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup crushed goldfish crackers
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning
15 white button mushrooms
1/4 lb crab claw meat
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and remove any dirt. Carefully remove stems if needed and set aside caps for stuffing.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté chopped celery, onion, and red bell pepper until softened.
Add crab claw meat, crushed goldfish crackers, Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning to the pan. Stir until well combined.
Adjust the mixture texture if needed; the crackers will absorb moisture as it sits.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Stuff each mushroom cap evenly with the seafood mixture.
Place stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Notes
You can substitute cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack if desired.
If the mixture feels too dry, add a small splash of olive oil or a bit more cheese.
Serve warm as an appetizer or party snack.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven.
