How To Make Joe’s Stone Crab Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Step One: Clean the mushrooms, remove the stems, and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step Two: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and chop into small pieces. In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the frozen spinach and cook until warmed through. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, then mix well. Remove from heat and fold in the chopped bacon.

Step Three: Spoon the spinach mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing gently to pack them in. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra crispiness.

Step Four: Preheat the air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F (190°C). Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set cook time for 8-10 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step Five: Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Optionally, sprinkle with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs for added flavor.

Joe’s Stone Crab Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Spinach: If you don’t have frozen spinach, fresh spinach works well. Just sauté it down until wilted before adding to the mixture.
• Bacon Alternatives: For a lighter version, consider swapping the bacon with turkey bacon or a vegetarian bacon alternative for the same crispy texture and flavor.
• Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the mushrooms, as this can cause them to overflow during cooking. A generous but controlled filling works best.
• Avoid Overcooking: Keep an eye on the mushrooms as they cook. Air fryers can vary, so check them at 8 minutes to ensure they’re golden brown without becoming too soft.
• Add Extra Cheese: For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle some additional Parmesan or mozzarella on top of the stuffed mushrooms before cooking.

Storing

• Storing: Store any leftover Joe’s Stone Crab Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before sealing them to avoid moisture buildup.
• Freezing: To freeze, arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Reheat the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are golden again.
