The Perfect Make-Ahead Appetizer

When it comes to holiday entertaining, I’m all about planning ahead and keeping things simple, so these crab stuffed mushrooms are perfect! You can make the filling and prep the mushrooms several hours ahead of time, so all you need to do is pop them in the oven when guests arrive. Easy!

Can You Freeze These?

You can’t freeze these stuffed mushrooms once they’ve been cooked, but you can freeze them once they are fully prepped and ready to go in the oven. Freeze the mushrooms on a baking tray, and once frozen you can transfer them to a freezer bag. You can cook the mushrooms from frozen.

What’s the Best Way to Serve This App?

These crab stuffed mushrooms are the perfect finger food to serve at a party. Once they are cooked, serve them immediately on a serving plate. I like to serve two or three finger foods together, so try serving alongside Bacon Wrapped Dates Tofu ‘Chicken’ Nuggets or Sriracha Devilled Eggs.

Chef’s Tips

  • Make them several hours ahead of time and keep them covered in the fridge.
  • You can use fresh crab meat in place of canned if you wish.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly.
  • Serve immediately.

    Thank you so much for sharing all of these wonderful recipes I receive in my inbox. I was wondering about the stuffed mushrooms. Is there a dairy free option you recommend for the Parmesan cheese? Thank you so much again for sharing! Your recipes are amazing. My girls and I made your pumpkin muffins last week. Amazing!

      You could just omit the cheese. Still delicious!
