Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms

Air fryer stuffed mushrooms are the perfect two-bite appetizer — juicy caps filled with a creamy, cheesy ham-and-onion mixture that turns golden and bubbly in the basket. They look impressive but come together fast.
The air fryer gives you melty, gratin-style tops without heating the oven. Serve them at a party or as a cozy starter.
Ingredients
Instructions
Make the filling
Wipe the mushrooms clean and remove the stems; chop the stems. Sauté the onion and chopped stems in a little oil, add the ham, then stir in the cream, salt and pepper and cook until thick.
Fill
Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps and top with the mozzarella and Parmesan.
Air fry
Air fry at 360°F for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Don't wash mushrooms under water — wipe them so they don't get soggy.
- Pat the caps dry and season them before filling.
- Cremini (baby bella) mushrooms have the best flavor for stuffing.
Frequently asked
How long do stuffed mushrooms take in the air fryer?
About 15 minutes at 360°F, until the caps are tender and the cheese is golden.
Why are my stuffed mushrooms watery?
Mushrooms release liquid — don't wash them under water, and cook the filling until thick before stuffing.
Can I make them vegetarian?
Yes — skip the ham and add sauteed spinach or extra cheese and breadcrumbs.
