How To Make Longhorn Stuffed Mushroom Recipe

Step One: Clean and dry the mushrooms, then remove the stems. Set them aside. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, melted butter, salt, pepper, and grated white cheddar cheese.

Step Three: Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to fill them evenly. In a saucepan, melt butter, add minced garlic, and stir in flour. Slowly whisk in half and half, then add Parmesan cheese. Simmer until thickened.
Step Four: Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F, for 3-5 minutes. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray, and place the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer. Set cook time for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown and crispy on top.

Longhorn Steakhouse Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: Use large white button mushrooms or baby portobellos for the best stuffing results.
- Don’t Overstuff: Be sure not to overfill the mushrooms to avoid spillage in the air fryer.
- Pat Mushrooms Dry: Remove excess moisture from mushrooms before stuffing to avoid sogginess.
- Chill the Filling: For easier stuffing, chill the cream cheese filling for about 10 minutes before using.
Storing
- Storing: Store leftover Longhorn stuffed mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to let them cool completely before storing to maintain their texture.
- Freezing: To freeze, place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet to flash freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Reheat the stuffed mushrooms in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes to keep them crispy.
