Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms with Cream Cheese and Cheddar

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms with Cream Cheese and Cheddar.

1. Step 1

   Start by gently wiping the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, then carefully remove and discard the stems.

2. Step 2

   Next, finely chop the scallions, making sure to keep the white parts separate from the vibrant green tops.

3. Step 3

   Preheat your air fryer to a cozy 360°F (182°C) so it’s ready to work its magic.

4. Step 4

   In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, chopped scallion whites, paprika, and a pinch of salt until everything is beautifully blended.

5. Step 5

   Now comes the fun part: take each mushroom cap and stuff it with the creamy cheese mixture, using the back of a small spoon to press it in gently, ensuring each cap is generously filled.

6. Step 6

   Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them—this will help them cook evenly.

   If you have a lot, you might need to cook them in batches.

   Air fry the mushrooms for about 8 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and the mushrooms are tender and inviting.
