Ingredients
  

1 lb large portobello or cremini mushrooms

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

    Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and set aside the caps.

      In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until you have a creamy mixture.

        Using a spoon, generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture. Ensure they are well-packed and slightly mounded on top for extra cheese goodness.

          Lightly brush the tops of the stuffed mushrooms with olive oil for a crispy finish.

            Place the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.

              Air fry the mushrooms for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.

                Carefully remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious cheesy bites as a perfect game day snack!
