This Crab-Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Burger Recipe Is a Hearty Anytime Meal
I can’t get enough of mushrooms and our Crab-Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Burgers will be on repeat in my menu rotation. With the addition of a creamy ‘n’ cheesy crab filling, these are a step above a typical portobello burger. If I can’t find fresh crabmeat around, I like to use Phillips brand-they have consistently great results for the price. I also really love the pop of earthiness that mushrooms bring to this dish. I’m going to make these Crab-Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Burgers for my friends this weekend. They are a company-worthy dish without the fuss. I’ll pair them with some air fryer sweet potato fries or maybe some veggies and hummus as simple sides.

Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz.) portobello mushroom caps
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (6 oz.) can lump crabmeat, drained
- 1/4 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbs. mayonnaise
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1 (5.3 oz.) pkg. spreadable cheese, such as Boursin, at room temp.
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted
- 2 seedless mini cucumbers, shaved into thin strips
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tsp. chopped chives
Instructions
Arrange rack in oven 4 inches from broiler. Heat broiler to high. Place mushrooms curved side up (gills down) on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 Tbs. oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil 4 min.; flip and drizzle with remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil 4 min. or until tender when pierced with a knife.
Meanwhile, pick through crabmeat to remove any tough pieces. In a medium bowl, combine crab, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in spreadable cheese (Makes about 11⁄2 cups.)
Spoon slightly heaping 1⁄3 cup crab mixture onto each mushroom and spread out slightly to fill cap. Reduce broiler heat to low and broil 30 sec. to 1 min., until lightly browned. Stack cucumber, tomato, onion and mushroom caps onto bun bottoms. Sprinkle with chives and add bun tops.
