These stuffed mushrooms trade the usual breadcrumb topping for a creamy, cheesy filling that melts beautifully in the air fryer. Large cremini or baby bella mushrooms are essential. Find ingredients and air frying instructions below.
Ingredients
- 12 large cremini or baby bella mushrooms
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper
- Oil spray

Steps
- 01Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Use a spoon to scrape out the dark gills to create a deeper well. Finely chop the stems.
- 02Mix the chopped stems, cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- 03Fill each mushroom cap with the mixture, mounding slightly.
- 04Top each with a pinch of panko. Spray the panko with oil.
- 05Ready for the air fryer.
Scraping out the gills isn't just for space. The gills hold moisture and release dark liquid during cooking that makes the filling watery and the appearance muddy. Removing them gives you a clean, dry cavity that holds the filling without weeping. Use the edge of a spoon and scrape gently.
