Ingredients
Scale
Stuffing
- 16 large white or cremini mushrooms (stems removed and cleaned)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, seasoned breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined and forms a smooth filling.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the prepared filling into each cleaned mushroom cap, pressing gently to pack it in firmly. This ensures the filling stays during air frying. Lightly spray the stuffed mushrooms’ tops with olive oil for a crisp, golden finish.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Mushrooms: Place the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a serving plate and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy as a savory appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Mix in cooked sausage, crab meat, or chopped spinach into the filling for extra flavor and variety.
- These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and air-fried just before serving for convenience.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for best results; cook in batches if necessary.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
