Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

[Roxy15]

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms:

 

1/2 Cup Boursin Cheese

1/2 Cup Finely Minced Crab Meat-(Can Use Imitation)

18 Uniform-Sized Mushrooms, Stems Removed

1 Box Phyllo Pastry-(You Will Need At Least 18 Sheets)

1/3 Cup Butter, Melted

Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste

1 Egg, Beaten

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

 

Combine cheese and crab in a small bowl. Divide crab mixture among the upside-down mushroom caps, stuffing the mushrooms. Carefully lay 6 sheets of Phyllo Dough on top of one another, brushing every other sheet with melted butter. Cut Phyllo lengthwise down the center and then cut each half into 3 pieces to make 6 rectangles. Place a mushroom, cheese side up, in the center of each square. Season with salt and pepper. Lift sides of pastry over mushrooms to resemble small bundles and form a "neck," pinching edges together to seal. Repeat the entire procedure 2 more times.

Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake for about 15 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot.
