Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound white button mushrooms about 16 count. Stems removed

For Stuffing

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup panko style bread crumbs I used gluten free variety
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese use plant based for vegan or Nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper taste

Optional Garnishes

Fresh herbs like basil or parsley, red pepper flakes
black or white truffle oil for drizzle on top

Instructions

Prepare the mushrooms

Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gently clean out the centers if needed, keeping the mushroom caps intact.

Make the filling

In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Stuff the mushrooms

Place the mushroom caps hollow-side up. Spoon the Parmesan-Panko mixture into each mushroom and gently press it into the center. Add a little extra filling on top for a crispier finish. Drizzle some olive oil on top.

Air fry

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the topping is golden and crispy. Serve warm.
Optional: Drizzle some truffle oil and chopped fresh herbs for serving.

How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the Parmesan-Panko topping is golden and crisp. For an extra-crispy topping, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely so it does not burn.

Notes

To make this recipe vegan

Simple replace grated parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or plant based cheese.

Recipe Notes

Use medium to large mushrooms so they are easier to stuff.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
Check the mushrooms at 8 minutes since air fryer models vary.
Use gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately for the crispiest topping.
