Air Fryer

Ingredients

18 medium-size mushrooms cleaned, stems removed and reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
2 green onions finely chopped, about 2 tablespoons
2 garlic cloves minced
4 ounces crab meat drained, leg meat and cartilage removed
4 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
¼ cup parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon seasoning salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper finely ground
⅓ cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions

Remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop them finely.
Place a small skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced green onion and chopped mushroom stems. Saute until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the diced garlic and cook for one more minute. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the cooked onion mixture, crab, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Stuff about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each mushroom cap, lightly pressing down with the back of a spoon to fit as much stuffing as possible without overflowing. Try to use all of the stuffing.
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and Panko bread crumbs. Press each stuffed mushroom, filling side down, into the bread crumbs.
Place the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between the mushrooms for airflow. Cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 10 minutes at 380℉, until the mushrooms are cooked through and the filling is golden brown and crispy on top.
Let cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Use gluten-free bread crumbs instead of Panko for a gluten-free version.
Swap crab meat for cooked, chopped shrimp or lobster.
Omit the crab meat and add chopped artichokes for a vegetarian option.
Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos to the filling to make them spicy.
