Frequently Asked Cooking Questions
- → Which mushrooms work best?
Big portobello or cremini caps hold the filling well since they’re sturdy and perfect in size for baking.
- → Can these be made ahead of time?
Yeah, you can put them together earlier and keep in the fridge. Just bake right before eating to keep them warm and tasty.
- → How do I keep the filling moist?
Soft cream cheese and gentle mixing stop it from drying out. Plus, the crab meat adds natural moisture.
- → What’s a good way to serve these?
They’re awesome as finger food for parties or a light snack alongside simple salads or cool drinks.
- → Can I switch up the herbs?
Fresh parsley or chives are great, but basil or tarragon work too if you want a different twist.
