Ingredients
  

Mushroom Preparation

  • 8 large large mushrooms (cremini or white button mushrooms)

Filling

  • 0.5 lb sausage (Italian sausage or any preferred variety, casings removed)
  • 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)
  • 0.25 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms and set the caps aside. Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside for the filling.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  • In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, chopped mushroom stems, cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until the filling is well-combined.
  • Fill each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden and crispy.
  • Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can use any sausage variety based on your taste preference (spicy, mild, or even turkey sausage). Adjust the seasoning to your liking; some crushed red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning can add extra flavor. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also bake these in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
