Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large mushrooms
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the stuffed mushrooms.
- Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and set them aside. You can chop the stems finely to include in the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. If you chopped the mushroom stems, add them to the mixture as well.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you have a well-combined filling. You can use a fork or a spatula to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Take each mushroom cap and fill it generously with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture. Press down slightly to ensure the filling adheres to the mushroom.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the stuffed mushrooms from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve the stuffed mushrooms warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious Copycat Red Lobster Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms!
Tips
- • Choose large, firm mushrooms with intact caps for the best stuffing results • Pat mushrooms completely dry before filling to prevent excess moisture • Don't overstuff the mushrooms - a generous but level filling works best • Leave space between mushrooms in the air fryer basket for even cooking • For extra crispiness, sprinkle a little extra breadcrumbs on top before air frying • Let mushrooms rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow filling to set • Serve immediately for the most impressive texture and flavor experience
