Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour 41 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 51 minutes

Ingredients

• 16 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed
• 1/2 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove and finely chop the stems, setting them aside.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
3. In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped mushroom stems, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing gently to fill.
5. Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 2-3 minutes.
6. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
7. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

1. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
2. Make-Ahead: Prepare the mushrooms and filling in advance, then cook just before serving.
3. Cheese Options: Swap mozzarella with cheddar, Gouda, or Swiss for a different flavor.
4. Spicy Kick: Use spicy sausage or add a pinch of red chili flakes for heat.
5. Vegetarian Option: Substitute sausage with sautéed spinach or chopped veggies.
