Ingredients
- 250 g large button mushrooms
- 5 g groundnut oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 20 g onion, finely chopped
- 20 g mixed red, yellow and green capsicum, finely chopped
- 20 g sweet corn
- 20 g spinach, finely chopped
- Reserved mushroom stems, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- Salt, to taste
- 50 g mozzarella cheese
- 50 g cheddar cheese
- 25 g cream cheese
- Fresh coriander, finely chopped, for garnishing
Method
- Prepare the mushrooms
Wipe the mushrooms thoroughly with a damp paper towel. Do not rinse them, as mushrooms absorb water easily and may become soggy. Gently pull or snap out the stems and chop them finely. - Prepare the filling
In a bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, garlic, green chillies, onion, capsicum, sweet corn, spinach, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, chilli flakes, oregano and salt. Mix until evenly combined. Keep the mozzarella aside for topping. - Fill the mushrooms
Spoon approximately one tablespoon of filling into each mushroom cap. Top each one with mozzarella cheese. - Prepare the air fryer
Lightly grease the air-fryer basket with the groundnut oil or use perforated parchment paper. - Air-fry
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer. Air-fry at 175–180°C for 10–12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the mozzarella is melted and golden. - Garnish and serve
Finish with finely chopped fresh coriander and serve immediately.
Ipshita’s Note
The combination of finely chopped vegetables and three cheeses creates a creamy, flavourful centre without overpowering the natural taste of the mushrooms. They are rich and satisfying while still feeling fresh and colourful.
Tip
Never soak the mushrooms or wash them under running water. Wiping them with a damp paper towel prevents them from absorbing excess moisture and becoming soggy in the air fryer.
