    Breadcrumbs- Gives a porous texture to the filling
    Bell pepper- Blends very well with the cheese when baked.
    Spice powders - I am using garlic powder and black pepper powder along with the required salt. Just the basic but work like wonders.
    Red chili flakes - This is optional but highly recommend adding. Makes a lovely difference in the taste.
    Garnish - You may also garnish the stuffed mushrooms with more cilantro or parsley and serve

    How to Clean Mushrooms

    Mushrooms act like a sponge and absorb water and hence I do not recommend soaking and washing in water for a longer time.

    You can wash it in water real quick and pat it dry completely without any moisture with a kitchen towel. Or you can skip washing in water and remove the dirt with kitchen towels.

    FAQ's

    stuffed mushrooms cook time may vary for different air fryers based on the brands and the types of mushrooms. Usually, it takes 6-8 mins at 180 deg c or 356 F for the cheese to melt and to get a golden crust. You may set the time to 6 mins and air fry for another 2 mins if needed
    What are the best mushrooms for stuffing
    Use button mushrooms, Cremini mushrooms, or portobello mushrooms. These three are good also select the mushrooms that are medium to large in size. They are perfect to stuff with the filling.
    Can we make air fryer stuffed mushrooms vegan ?
    For the Vegan version I suggest using vegan cheese and vegan breadcrumbs.

    How to make stuffed mushrooms in air fryer

    Prepare the Cheese Stuffing

    1.In a mixing bowl add grated cheese.

    2. To this add garlic powder, black pepper powder, and the required Salt.

    3. Add the bread crumbs, Finely chopped bell peppers, and Cilantro. Also, add red chili flakes.

    4. Combine everything. The stuffing is now ready.

    Prep the Mushroom:

    5. You may use cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms. Wash the mushrooms and immediately pat them dry with paper towels to remove the moisture. Or just wipe the mushrooms with kitchen tissues to remove the dirt particles. Mushrooms absorb water so never leave them in water for a longer time. If washing them pat them dry immediately.

    6. Apply little pressure and remove the stalk of the mushrooms. Press the edges gently to widen them a little so that the mushroom cavities are wide enough for the stuffings. Continue the same process for all the mushrooms.

    Stuff the Mushroom

    7. Stuff the mushroom generously with the prepared filling. Don't worry even if you overstuff the mushroom. The cheese melts down so the filling gets perfect even if you overstuff.

    Air fry the stuffed Mushrooms:

    8. Preheat the air fryer to 392 F (200 deg C) for 5 mins. Now brush the basket with little oil or use a spray. Arrange the mushrooms in the air fryer baskets.

    9. Air fry the patties at 356 F (180 deg C) for 6-8 mins or until the cheese melts and turns golden.

    10. Cheesy stuffed mushrooms are now ready.

    Tips & Variations

    • You may also top the mushrooms with extra cheese.
    • You can also use more herbs for flavor.
    • For a non-veg version, you may also try a crab filling.
    • Cream cheese stuffing is also popular equally.
    • you can also add cheddar and parmesan together to the cheese stuffing.
    • As the mushrooms absorb water, we usually wipe them to remove the dirt and dust particles. Even if you wash pat them dry thoroughly without any moisture.
    • Gently widen the mushroom caps so that you may add in more stuffing.
    • These air fryer stuffed mushrooms vegetarian version is easily customizable. You can add your favorite ingredients to the stuffings
    • Air fryer mushroom caps go well with any spicy dip or just by themselves.

    Storing Suggestions

    Do not recommend storing the stuffed mushrooms after they are air fried. They get soggy the longer they sit.

    Instead, you can clean and prep the mushroom by removing the stem and widening the cap. Also, you can prepare the filling and put them in separate freezer bags, and store them.

    Just before serving, you can stuff the mushrooms, air fry them quickly and serve hot.
