Bert’s Eggplant Crabmeat Stuffed Portabellas

Ms Bert (as she is known by her friends) was lucky enough to be coached by some of the best cooks in the Kaplan area. Her Dad, Wilton, has his own restaurant, her Aunt Carrie had a catering business and her grandma Mire had a lot of hungry mouths to feed. As the old saying goes, “the acorn doesn’t fall very far from the tree.” Ms Bert created this yummy dish using some Cajun favorites.
