How to make air fryer stuffed mushrooms 

Looking for a tasty and healthy appetizer or snack to munch on? These air fryer stuffed mushrooms are the perfect appetizer for parties or a side dish (or snack) that takes less than 10 minutes to cook! Follow this easy recipe below: 

Ingredients: 

• 16 oz of mini portobello mushrooms (or whole white mushrooms)
• 2 tablespoons of bacon, crumbled (3 slices) / you can also use scallops
• ¼ cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces of cream cheese softened
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions: 

First, clean mushrooms by rinsing them under running cold water. After, remove the tops of the mushroom from the stems and set them aside. 

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with bacon crumbs, shredded cheese, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir them all together until the mixture is creamy and well combined. 

Use a small spoon to scoop the cream cheese mixture into each mushroom cap and stuff each mushroom cavity. Make sure the mushrooms are filled. 

Lightly brush with cooking oil or spray with cooking spray the air fryer basket and then place the stuffed mushrooms carefully in the air fryer basket without stacking them or overlapping each other. 

Air fry the stuffed mushrooms at 400°f for around 5 to 7 minutes or until the tops of the mushrooms are golden brown. If not golden brown yet, add an additional 2 to 3 minutes to the cooking time. 

Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and garnish with parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, jalapeno, or any of your preferred garnish. 

More tips and notes for the best mushrooms in the air fryer 

It is easy to make stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer since you will not need tons of cooking equipment – just a few mixing bowls and your air fryer is enough! But if you want more tips to get the best results for your savory mushrooms, then I have some more notes for you: 

• Use more meat if you want extra protein. You can use turkey bacon, ground beef or pork, and more for your filling. 
• You can prepare and stuff your mushrooms beforehand and freeze them before you plan to cook them. However, the best taste and results will still be achieved when you use fresh mushrooms. 
• Add whichever garnish you want. You can use paprika or jalapeno if you want more spice. 
• Even if your mushrooms are packaged, it would still be best to rinse them under cold water to remove any excess dirt. Be careful not to soak the mushrooms. 
• Do not overcrowd your stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer so that they will all cook evenly and perfectly. Cook in batches if necessary. 

What to serve with air-fried stuffed mushrooms 

These air-fried stuffed mushrooms can be perfectly eaten by themselves but here are more pairings you can serve with these stuffed mushrooms:

If you have any leftover mushrooms, you can store them in an airtight container and in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. To reheat, just toss the mushrooms back in the air fryer and cook for a few minutes. You can also reheat it in an oven or toaster oven.
