Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
These air fryer stuffed mushrooms combine cremini or white button mushrooms with a rich crab and mozzarella filling seasoned with Old Bay. The mushrooms are pre-cooked in the air fryer to release moisture, then filled and topped with cheese before a final air frying to brown the filling. The result is a savory, moist bite with a slightly crisp top. This recipe is suitable for making ahead and reheating in the air fryer, offering a practical appetizer or snack option with seafood flavor and melty cheese.

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.
