I LOVE the big main meal on Christmas day. But it’s always so large that we don’t eat much else for days afterwards. After the heavy feasting and celebrating on Christmas, I like to keep things a bit lighter when New Year’s Eve rolls around. That’s why for the last few years, New Year’s Eve has been a time to relax at home and enjoy an assortment of homemade appetizers.
And one of my all-time favourite appetizer recipes is stuffed mushrooms! They take just minutes to prepare but are always a hit. And as a seafood fan, my Parmesan Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are always a top pick during New Year’s celebrations.
So recently I headed to my local Sobeys store to pick up the ingredients I would need to whip up a batch.
The nice thing about this recipe is that it requires just a few ingredients but tastes completely decadent. It’s rich, filling and so delicious. And for a different taste, shrimp makes a fabulous substitute for the crab as well!
It only takes three or four tasty appetizers to make a perfect New Year’s Eve meal that’s festive, casual and so delicious. And these stuffed mushrooms are one thing that’s always on a plate of appetizers in this house! Give them a try and enjoy a relaxing and delicious New Year’s Eve celebration!

Perfect! I was just looking around the net for something like this!
wow these look good!! my husband hates mushrooms BUT that just means more for me :)
I’m allergic to crab, so thanks for the idea of substituting with shrimp. I wonder how they would be with another seafood, like scallops for example?
looks great
I’m not a big seafood eater (squeamish) but I do like lobster and crab if it’s not in an identifiable form (ie. not looking at me). So this recipe is right up my alley. And anything with cream cheese gets an extra point in my book.
These sound so good. I just have to try these for New Years!
