We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Filling ... Add the butter to a saute pan on medium high heat. Add the celery, garlic, scallions and pimento and cook 2 minutes; then add in the Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper; stir and immediately remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.

  • Step 2: Bread Crumbs ... In a small bowl add the milk and buttermilk and dip the bread slices, soak just a couple of seconds and then squeeze dry. Crumble up the bread slices as you add them to the vegetable mix. Add in the egg, parmesan and monterey jack cheese and mix well. And finish the filling by adding the lobster and gently toss so you don't break up the lobster too much. Note: I can get my lobster steamed right from my local grocery store or butcher.

  • Step 3: Mushrooms ... Brush the outside of each mushroom with a little olive oil, you can also use a spray which is easier if you have it. This just allows them to really brown up during baking. Stuff the mushroom as much as you can and pile them high. Mix the parmesan and monterey jack cheese together and top each of the mushrooms.

  • Step 4: Bake ... Butter a casserole dish and add the mushrooms. Bake at 400 degrees on the middle shelf for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Transfer to the broiler if you want the tops a bit more brown - this is what I like to do. It only takes a few minutes to brown the tops.

  • Step 5: Serve ... Rich and decadent, but delicious. Perfect for a special dinner party. ENJOY!
