How to Make Air Fryer Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

If you’re looking for a delightful and easy appetiser, air fryer cream cheese stuffed mushrooms are a perfect choice. Here’s a simple guide to whip up this tasty treat.

Ingredients:

• 12 large button mushrooms
• 100g cream cheese, softened
• 50g grated mozzarella cheese
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil spray

Method:

1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by preheating your air fryer to 180°C. Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.

2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, cream cheese, grated mozzarella, minced garlic, spring onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Stuff the Mushrooms: Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into the mushroom caps, generously filling each one.

4. Air Frying: Lightly spray the stuffed mushrooms with olive oil to help them crisp up. Arrange them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded for even cooking. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.

5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the mushrooms and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm and make a fantastic addition to any party or gathering.

This air fryer variant not only reduces cooking time but also delivers a beautifully crispy texture without the need for excessive oil. Enjoy your delicious cream cheese stuffed mushrooms!
