Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds whole cremini mushrooms
  • 1 pound Italian sausage mild or hot
  • ¼ cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Carefully remove mushroom stems and chop them finely; set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, brown the sausage until it’s almost completely browned, then stir in the chopped mushrooms and onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until tender.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for another 30 seconds, until fragrant. Drain the excess grease, and aside to cool completely.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add cream cheese and egg yolk, stirring well to combine. Stir in the Parmesan, bread crumbs, and parsley. Fold in the cooled sausage and onion mixture until well mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Use a spoon to stuff each mushroom cap with the filling, making a small mound on the top.
  • Spray the inner basket of an air fryer with cooking spray. Place the stuffed mushrooms in the basket and air fry at 390 degrees for 5-7 minutes, or until golden on top, cooking in batches as needed.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
