Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped celery
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 pound of lobster meat
- 2 cups of crushed oyster crackers
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 6 slices of white cheddar cheese
- Lemon wedges
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Step One:Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil or cover it with parchment paper. Greasing prevents the mushrooms from sticking to the baking pan.
- Step Two:Now, it’s time to prep the mushrooms. Thoroughly wash your mushrooms and remove their stems to create a cavity. Remember, mushrooms are fragile, so be gentle not to break them. Set them on the baking sheet.
- Step Three:Combine the lobster meat, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, onions, and minced garlic.
- Step Four:Add the egg and the mayonnaise to the mixture. The two enable the ingredients to bind and also add a creamy texture. Next, add black pepper, basil, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, and salt to taste. Mix until everything is perfectly combined. At this point, you can add other favourite seasonings like spices and herbs for richer flavor.
- Step Five:Stuff your mushroom caps with the mixture attained in Step Four. You can use your hands or a spoon to fill the caps, ensuring each filling is above the rim for a satisfying bite.
- Step Six:Drizzle the unsalted butter over the mushroom tops for a soft texture and buttery flavor. You can sprinkle paprika to give the Red Lobster Stuffed Mushroom recipe a pop of color.
- Step Seven:Place the mushrooms in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. In case the mushrooms are not tender and the filling is not bubbly and golden brown after 25 minutes, you can bake for additional minutes. Be keen to prevent burning.
- Step 8:Remove the stuffed mushrooms from your oven and cool them for 2 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves and serve with lemon slices.
