Ingredients
Mushrooms
- 4 Medium Portobello Mushrooms
- Oil for rubbing
Filling
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 Cup Chopped Fresh Spinach
- 1 Cup Chopped Marinated Artichoke Hearts
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Mushrooms: Wash the portobello mushrooms thoroughly and remove the stems. Rub the mushroom caps with a light coating of oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Pre-cook Mushrooms: Place the mushrooms open side down into the air fryer basket and air fry at 400ºF for 7 minutes. This step helps to release moisture from the mushrooms. Remove them and pat dry with paper towels to absorb any remaining liquid.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped fresh spinach, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Stuff Mushrooms: Fill each mushroom cap generously with the cream cheese and vegetable mixture, ensuring an even distribution of filling among all mushrooms.
- Air Fry Stuffed Mushrooms: Place the stuffed mushrooms back into the air fryer basket. Top each with additional shredded mozzarella for a golden, crispy finish. Air fry at 370ºF for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and the filling is heated through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or main dish.
Notes
- Patting the mushrooms dry after the initial air fry is essential to reduce sogginess in the final dish.
- Use marinated artichoke hearts for added flavor; drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery filling.
- Feel free to substitute mozzarella with other melty cheeses like provolone or fontina for variation.
- To make this recipe vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese and cheese alternatives.
