Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
The recipe starts by rinsing and drying medium mushrooms, then removing stems and optionally hollowing out the centers. Cream cheese is whipped until smooth and fluffy, then combined with crumbled cooked bacon, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and sliced green onion. This mixture is spooned generously into the mushroom caps.
Preheated air fryer cooks the stuffed mushrooms initially at 400°F before reducing to 350°F to finish cooking. After six minutes, a final sprinkle of cheddar is added on top, and they cook a few minutes more to melt the cheese and develop a golden crust. The result is tender mushrooms with a rich, creamy, and smoky filling highlighted by the cheeses and bacon.
For stability during cooking, mushrooms can be placed on foil with raised sides or in a small baking pan to prevent tipping inside the air fryer. Letting the mushrooms cool slightly before serving helps fillings set and makes handling easier.
Ingredients
- 16 medium mushrooms
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons Bacon about 3 slices, cooked and crumbled
- ⅓ cup cheddar cheese divided, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
Instructions

- Add bacon, 3 tablespoons cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, seasonings, and green onion.
- Stuff the mixture into the mushroom caps.

Notes
- If mushrooms tip inside the air fryer, place them on foil with sides folded up or in a small baking pan to keep upright during cooking.
