Ingredients

• Mushrooms: Use large button or cremini mushrooms for the perfect stuffing base, or try portobello caps for a heartier variation.
• Spinach: Fresh spinach adds a vibrant flavor, though frozen spinach (thawed and drained) works well too.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese: Adds a sharp, salty bite to the filling; Romano cheese can be a good alternative.
• Minced Garlic: Provides a punch of flavor, but garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
• Fresh Parsley: Adds a fresh, herbaceous note; swap with cilantro for a different twist.
• Cream Cheese: Makes the stuffing creamy and rich; you can use a low-fat version for a lighter option.
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Melts perfectly for a gooey topping, or try a cheddar blend for a sharper taste.
• Olive Oil: Helps to soften the mushroom caps during cooking; avocado oil works as a substitute.

Instructions

Step One: Start by using a paper towel and cleaning your mushrooms. Then remove the stem. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, and diced stem in a small skillet. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the mushrooms are softened.

Step Two: Fold in the spinach, mix well, add the cream cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese, mix well.

Step Three: Add the filling to the mushroom caps, filling about 3/4 of the way. Place them into the air fryer, and set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting and set cook time for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are cooked. You can sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese at the last minute on top.

Pro Tips Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms with Cream Cheese

• 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.
