Irresistible Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms with Creamy Cheese Filling
Ingredients
- 12 large white or baby bella mushrooms
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, then remove the stems and finely chop them.
2. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is smooth and creamy.
3. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to ensure the filling is evenly distributed and securely in place.
4. Set your air fryer to 350°F and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
5. Carefully place the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
6. Air fry the stuffed mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown and crispy.
7. Once ready, garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
Choose large white or baby bella mushrooms for best results.
Balance the flavors of cheeses, garlic, and herbs in the filling.
Monitor cooking time closely as air fryers can vary in temperature.
Preheat your air fryer for even cooking.
Avoid overstuffing to prevent sogginess.
