Crab-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

"A rich stuffing intensifies the earthy flavor of portobello mushrooms." — Pam Anderson

Directions

Preheat your oven's broiler.
Brush both sides of the mushrooms with 3 tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and arrange on a lipped cookie sheet. Broil on highest rack, turning once, until golden and almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and reset oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms stems and onions and lightly seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer. Transfer mushroom mixture to a medium bowl and stir in crackers and crabmeat.
Spoon a portion of filling into each mushroom cap and top with cheese. Bake on middle oven rack until filling is heated though and cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

The taste of this was good, but didn't "wow" me. I used large baby bellas (9 of them) and added a splash of lemon juice but otherwise followed the recipe. My husband loved it, but I guess I just need bacon in my stuffed mushrooms because that's the flavor I thought these were missing. However, I'm still rating these a 5 because of how much my husband liked them and for two other reasons: 1) I never thought to broil the mushroom caps...I always saute them when making stuffed mushrooms. Broiling them was far easier, quicker, and just as yummy. 2) I usually use bread crumbs but I really liked the Ritz crackers. I think in the future I'll incorporate those two things into my own stuffed mushroom recipe using bacon in place of the crab. Thanks for the recipe with those great ideas!

Very nice but could use more seasoning. The cheese I chose didn't melt so well. Would have probably been even better if the cheese was super melty.
