This is a recipe for easy air fryer stuffed mushrooms filled with cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, and topped with cheddar and chives. They’re great as an appetizer or a side dish!
Originally, I had planned to cook stuffed mushrooms in the oven as I’ve always done in the past.
However, I decided to give the air fryer a try because I had been wondering, “Can you air fry stuffed mushrooms?”
I already had beef roasting in the oven so this was the perfect opportunity to use the air fryer.
The best part about air frying is it requires no preheating!
Ingredients for Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
- Whole White Button Mushrooms
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Garlic Powder
- Salt
- Chives
How to Clean Mushrooms
If you are planning to cook them right away, rinsing them under lukewarm water is great for cleaning them. However, if you do not plan on cooking them right away they will become slimy after being rinsed with water.
If you are not cooking them right away, use a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
Can you use Pam nonstick spray in an air fryer?
Unfortunately, air fryer baskets do not tolerate aerosol spray. It causes the basket to peel.
How do you get the food to stop sticking? Use a non-aerosol spray bottle of olive oil or canola oil, or you can rub coconut oil directly on the basket.
Cook them until you notice the mushrooms have softened and the cheese is fully melted.
Storing Leftover Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Be careful, they go quick!

Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
Easy air fryer stuffed mushrooms filled with cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, and topped with cheddar and chives. They're great as an appetizer or a side dish!
Ingredients
- 16 oz Whole White Button Mushrooms
- 6 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp Sour Cream
- ¼ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- Dash of Pepper
- Chopped Chives, for topping
- Oil Spray
Instructions
- Use a damp paper towel to remove any debris/dirt from the mushrooms (they can become slimy if rinsed underwater.) Pop or cut stems off of the mushroom caps.
- Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon mixture into the "well" of each mushroom cap. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese and chives. Tip: I've found the easiest way is by placing the cheese in a shallow dish and pressing each mushroom cap into the cheese to stick.
- Spray the basket in air fryer with oil spray to prevent sticking. Place a single layer of mushrooms in the basket. Set the temperature to 370 degrees and cook for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

These are amazing! Only thing I did different is add fresh garlic and grated parmesan into the mix. SO GOOD! Thank you !
I have made these once and they were amazing! I plan on making them again but would like to do them in the oven. My air fryer is small and I plan on making them for a cookout so I would like to do a full batch all at once. What temp and for how long do you recommend for the oven
Hi Rebecca,
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed them!
When I bake them in the oven I set the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 10-12 minutes. I’ve always been a bit surprised by recipes that recommend 20 minutes at this temperature because I find they’re done way before then, but it may vary on the size of mushrooms you have. I look for the liquid juices starting to come out onto the pan and check them for tenderness by piercing one with a fork.
Let me know how they turn out for you!

@Tiffany,
Thank you! I will let you know
Made these for a quick appetizer and they were a hit! Didn’t have chives, may add some bacon crumbles next time!
These were so easy to make and absolutely delicious! Thank you!
