Tips and Tricks

Can I use cremini or other mushrooms?

Yes. As long as they have a good cap to fill with this creamy crabmeat goodness, you are good to go. I love the idea of using the large mushroom caps too for a heartier serving.

Can I do this in the air fryer?

Yes! I would cook them at about 425 in the air fryer for probably half of the time. Just stay with it and keep and eye on it. You don’t want them to burn and that can happen quickly.

What is the full fat version?

Just leave out the greek yogurt and use 5 tablespoons of mayo instead. You can also add breadcrumbs to the topping.
