Crab Stuffed Portobellos with Oven Roasted Fiddleheads

Sorry about the quality of this picture!  Usually my phone cooperates with me better than that.  So, for this meal I primarily followed two recipes I found online and made a handful of modifications.
For the crab stuffed portobellos I used:

And for the oven roasted fiddleheads I used:

Crab Stuffed Portobellos:
  • 1 cup crabmeat (Red Lobster leftovers work fantastically)
  • 1/2 cup Neufchatel cheese (original recipe calls for cream cheese)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (+ a little extra)
  • salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
  • 2 to 4 portobello mushroom caps or 10 or so white mushroom caps
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Prepare mushrooms of choice by cleaning and removing stems and ribs
  3. Combine the crabmeat, Neufchatel cheese, parsley, green onions, 4 tablespoons of the Parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Combine melted butter and bread crumbs.
  5. Stuff mushrooms with crab mixture.
  6. Top with bread crumb mixture.
  7. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  8. Bake stuffed mushrooms for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the size of the mushrooms) until filling is hot and melted and tops turn golden brown.

Oven Roasted Fiddleheads:
  • fiddleheads
  • sunflower seed oil (or olive oil)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • (balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese were also called for, I left them out)
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Oil a 9" x 13" cake pan.
  3. Toss the fiddleheads in oil.
  4. Spread the fiddleheads out on the prepared cake pan.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast fiddleheads for 20 to 30 minutes.
  7. (I didn't do this step) Tumble into a serving dish and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
