Ingredients
  

Mushrooms:
  • 12 –15 medium button mushrooms
  • A pinch of salt
  • A few drops of oil
Stuffing:
  • Cream cheese about 3–4 tbsp but I eyeball it tbh
  • A handful of grated cheese any kind, even the too-hard leftover block
  • Garlic 1–2 cloves, chopped tiny
  • Breadcrumbs 1 tbsp
  • Chopped mushroom stems
  • Black pepper
  • Oregano or mixed herbs
  • Optional: red chilli flakes
  • Optional: coriander or parsley
  • Some days I add lemon zest… Some days I forget. Life goes on

Equipment

  • An air fryer
  • A mixing bowl
  • A small spoon
  • Knife & board
  • Paper towel

Method
 

Clean the Mushrooms
  1. Please… don’t wash them like tomatoes.
  2. They get soggy. Mushrooms and water are not friends.
  3. Just wipe them gently with a damp cloth or paper towel.
  4. Pop out the stems — they come loose really easily.
Make the Filling
  1. Take a bowl. Throw:
  2. cream cheese
  3. grated cheese
  4. chopped garlic
  5. breadcrumbs
  6. chopped stems
  7. herbs
  8. pepper
  9. chilli flakes (if your mood says yes)
  10. Mix it roughly.
  11. Taste it. Adjust.
  12. If it feels too stiff, add a tiny splash of milk. If it feels too runny, breadcrumbs save the day.
Prep the Mushroom Caps
  1. Brush oil lightly.
  2. Salt the inside a little. Not too much since cheese is salty already.
Stuff Them
  1. This part is weirdly satisfying.
  2. Take a small spoon and press the filling inside each mushroom.
  3. A little overflowing looks better — like café food.
Air Fry
  1. Preheat to 180°C.
  2. Arrange mushrooms in a single layer.
  3. Give them space so they don’t steam each other.
  4. Cook for 8–12 minutes.
  5. Keep an eye. Mushrooms sometimes decide to cook faster — no idea why.
  6. When the tops are golden and bubbly, they’re ready.
Serve Hot
  1. Don’t wait too long. They taste best when the filling is warm and creamy.
