Tips for Stuffing Mushrooms for Air Frying

  • How big are your mushrooms ? Theres so many different mushrooms varieties and sizes. So cooking times will definitely vary. You can even stuff theses in portabella mushrooms too and make it a meal!
  • Choose your Cheese: Add what ever cheese you want to the cream cheese filling mix for extra flavor. Flavorful cheeses that take these poppers over the top are smoked cheddar, but parmesan, pecorino, jalapeño jack and other cheese can work great as well.
  • Different fillings: You can add some cooked bacon in the filling for more flavor. Or cooked ground chicken, beef or pork. You don’t need alot of cooked ground meat because it doesn’t take much to fill the mushrooms.
  • Do a test batch! Cooking times will vary so test a few first in your model of air fryer and then you’ll know what the exact time is best for your preferred texture.
  • Follow our easy step by step photos and the full recipe is below. You can also print the recipe too.

Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms

Yield: 10 Stuffed Mushrooms (approx.)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Air frying is the perfect way to cook stuffed mushrooms, especially for smaller quantities. The air fryer cooks them quickly and gives the mushrooms a perfect texture.
If you fill the 8 oz's of mushroom caps full, you won't have much left over. But if you decide to fill the mushrooms with less filling, then you'll have some left over.
All air fryers are different and some cook much hotter than others. Once you cook your first batch, you’ll know more of what works for your model of air fryer and size of food. These recipes were tested on basket style air fryers.

  • Spray the mushroom tops with oil spray. Make sure to spray liberally, because if you don't spray the tops of mushrooms enough, they might dry out during air frying. Fill the cavity of mushroom tops with the cream cheese mixture. Place the mushrooms in the air fryer basket (only place the mushrooms a single layer – if needed cook in multiple batches).

Notes

Air Frying Tips and Notes:
1. Make ahead: Prep the filling and stuff the mushrooms ahead of time. You can do this up to one day ahead. When you’re ready to air fry, take them out about 1 hour before cooking so that the filling can come to room temperature. Then spray the sides of the mushrooms again before air frying. The hot circulating air cooks these stuffed mushrooms really quick. You want to make sure the filling isn’t too cold that way it cooks all the way through. 
2. If cooking in multiple batches, the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated. Recipe timing is based on a non-preheated air fryer.
3. Recipes were tested in 3.4 to 6 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
