Roast the caps a few minutes first or they release water and make the filling soggy. A mix of cream cheese and Parmesan gives the stuffing structure and salt; breadcrumbs give it a browned top. Chop the removed stems and cook them into the filling so nothing is wasted.

The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for24pieces
Button mushrooms
Pick caps about the same size so they cook evenly; wipe clean, don't soak.
Can you make Stuffed Mushrooms in an air fryer? — Yes
Yes — this is exactly what an air fryer does well. Work in a single layer so the air can move, and shake or flip halfway for even crisping. It runs a touch faster than the oven, so check early.
Can you freeze Stuffed Mushrooms? — Not ideal
You can, but the crisp coating softens. Freeze the cooked pieces, then re-crisp them in a hot oven or air fryer — never the microwave.
Can you make Stuffed Mushrooms ahead of time? — Prep ahead
Best fried to order — the crunch fades if it sits. Do the breading or shaping ahead and cook it fresh when you serve.
Is Stuffed Mushrooms gluten-free? — Not as written
Not as written — it contains gluten. Make it gluten-free: swap in gluten-free versions of the wheat items (check the other labels too).
Is Stuffed Mushrooms vegan? — Vegetarian, not vegan
It’s vegetarian but not vegan as written — it has dairy. Make it vegan: use plant milk, oil, or a vegan cheese for the dairy.
