Ingredients
- 15 medium white button mushrooms or baby bella mushrooms
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Finely chop the mushroom stems you removed earlier.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped mushroom stems with minced garlic until they are tender and lightly browned. This takes about 5 minutes.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom stems, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
4. Prepare a bowl with breadcrumbs and a separate bowl with a beaten egg.
5. Take each stuffed mushroom and dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
6. Roll the mushroom in the breadcrumbs. For a crisp coating, I recommend using panko breadcrumbs.
7. Lightly spray the breaded mushrooms with olive oil spray to help achieve a golden, crispy texture.
8. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
9. Place the breaded mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; you might need to cook in batches.
10. Air fryer cooking time is about 10-12 minutes. Check halfway through and shake the basket gently for even cooking.
Notes
For the best results, make sure not to overcrowd the basket. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around each mushroom, ensuring a perfectly crisp coating.
