These Boursin Cheese & Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are melt in your mouth delicious. They’re so hearty you could even serve them as a meal! 
I’m not usually a fan of Stuffed Mushrooms but Mom made these a couple weeks ago and I found myself going back for a second helping! I always taste everything that makes its way onto my blog. I wasn’t really looking forward to taste testing these but boy was I in for a surprise!
Really, how can you go wrong with Boursin Cheese mixed in to the stuffing! I love the fact that the stuffing isn’t overly bready. You can actually taste the big pieces of lump crab in every delicious bite. They make the perfect appetizer to bring to a party but they are so filling you could actually serve them as a meal!

Thanks so much
Nanci
Hi Nanci! You can use any kind of bread crumbs but my mom always uses 4C seasoned bread crumbs. That’s what went into these Stuffed Mushrooms. I don’t usually like mushrooms but these were amazing. Have a great party!
Thank You
They were wiped out!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s awesome Nanci! Thanks for coming back to let me know! Glad they were a hit!
Nanci these look wonderful. Can I make the crab filling a couple days ahead and fill mushrooms day of party?
Absolutely! I always like to find ways of saving time on the day of a party. Making the filling ahead will definitely work and save you time on party day!
Could I use this for stuffing for mini pie tarts? Thank you in advance.
Hi Rebecca, I’ve never tried it but that sounds like a great idea. I don’t see any problems substituting the mushrooms with a pie tart crust. Sounds like a delicious idea!
These were delicious!! I was not able to use all of the stuffing, have you ever tried freezing and using later?
I have not but it should definitely work. I’d say you should be able to freeze the stuffing for up to 2 months.
