Ingredients

  • 15 Baby Bella mushrooms
  • 3 ½ tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 5 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup (91g) cream cheese
  • cup (28g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 ½ tablespoons mild salsa or marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ranch seasoning
  • teaspoon dried oregano or dried sage
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature.
  • Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, half of the parmesan cheese, salsa, and seasonings in a small bowl. Blend until creamy and well combined.
  • Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and remove the stems, leaving the caps intact.
  • Evenly divide the filling mixture between the mushroom caps.
  • Place the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket and bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C.
  • While the mushrooms bake, combine the breadcrumbs and the remaining grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
  • Open the air fryer and sprinkle the mushrooms with the breadcrumbs mixture. Air fry for 5 more minutes to crisp up the topping.
  • Remove from the air fryer, cool slightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You don’t need to oil the air fryer mushrooms, but spraying the air fryer basket with olive oil will prevent the mushrooms from sticking to the tray. 
  • You can blend the filling by hand. Alternatively, you can use a hand mixer or toss everything into a food processor and pulse it a few times until combined. 
  • I prefer to wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to clean them but feel free to wash them if you prefer. 
  • Chop the mushroom stems and add them back into the filling mixture or freeze them to add to soups or other recipes. 
  • If you have smaller mushrooms, you can use a spoon to gently press down the gills to create a larger cavity in the mushroom cap.
  • Don’t be afraid to pile on the filling.
  • Cook mushrooms until they are tender, adding additional time as needed. 
  • If you have any leftover filling, stir it into your scrambled eggs for a delicious breakfast. 
  • Mushrooms should not be slimy. Discard any that are slimy or have a fishy odor. 
  • Air Fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. Use the cooking time listed as a guide, check for doneness, and adjust cook time as needed.
  • Storage - leftovers can be kept in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • There are 8 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
