This appetizer is so easy and is a healthier version of those overly cheesy versions. I never actually liked those mushrooms because the excessive cheese always stepped on the amazing sweet crab flavor. This recipe lets the crab shine and you can eat them without feeling guilty. They are also gluten free for those that have a gluten intolerance. Impress your friends with this fancy looking dish that is actually very easy! You can even stuff them ahead of time and bake them right when the guests arrive.
