Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms are prepared using whole mushrooms hollowed by removing stems, then pre-cooked briefly in the air fryer to reduce moisture. The filling blends crab meat, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, and Old Bay seasoning to add creaminess and a subtly spiced seafood taste. Topping the mushrooms with extra cheese and air frying them again creates a golden, lightly browned finish. The method keeps the mushrooms tender while providing a flavorful and rich filling.
The mushrooms serve well warm, allowing the cheese to be soft and the crab filling pronounced, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled. The recipe suggests garnishing with parsley for freshness. The air fryer batches allow for practical cooking of multiple mushrooms while preserving texture.
The notes recommend cleaning mushrooms carefully without water to prevent sogginess and suggest reserving stems for other uses. Stuffing can be done ahead, saving time. Reheating can be done in the air fryer to maintain texture. Cooling briefly before serving helps develop flavors and eases handling. These details provide useful guidance for preparing and serving this seafood stuffed mushroom dish effectively.
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms cremini or white button, large, about 1 dozen
- 8 ounce crab meat
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Instructions
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil, and preheat it to 400°
- Clean mushrooms with a paper towel and remove the stems, leaving a cavity in each for the filling.
- Put the mushroom caps, stem side down in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a paper towel lined plate.
- In a bowl, combine crab meat, ¾ of the cheese, mayonnaise, and Old Bay seasoning.
- Fill each mushroom with the crab mixture, heaping the filling
- Top the filled mushrooms with the remainder of the cheese
- Place mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).
- Cook 5 minutes or until the filling is beginning to brown.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and allow the mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
- Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to avoid sogginess; avoid rinsing in water.
- Remove stems carefully by bending them out; save stems for soups, stews, or finely chopped additions to other dishes.
- Prepare and stuff mushrooms up to one day in advance; keep refrigerated until cooking.
- Cook mushrooms in batches if your air fryer capacity is limited.
- Allow mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes after cooking before serving for best texture.
- Reheat leftovers by air frying for 2-3 minutes at 350°F to maintain texture and warm through.
