Let me walk you through how to make these Crab Stuffed Mushrooms.

First wash the mushrooms by using a damp paper towel and wiping off any excess dirt from the mushroom caps.Then, gently rock the stem back and forth until it loosens from the cap and remove it completely. You can discard the stems.

Make Ahead and Storage
This crab stuffed mushroom recipe can be made ahead by filling the mushrooms with the crab mixture, (do not bake yet) cover, and place in the fridge for up to 48 hours. When you’re ready to serve, then remove them from the oven and bake according to the recipe card below.
Baked stuffed mushrooms can be placed in the fridge for up to 3 days, but I think they taste best when freshly baked.
