- cheese80 g
- capsicum2 tbsp, finely chopped
- garlic2 cloves, crushed
- breadcrumbs3 tbsp
Method
Prepare the mushrooms
Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and pull out the stems to make small cups. Wiping rather than washing keeps them from soaking up water, so they roast instead of turning soggy.
Mix the filling
Mix the cheese, finely chopped capsicum, crushed garlic and breadcrumbs in a bowl. The breadcrumbs bind the filling and soak up moisture so it sets firm rather than sliding off the caps.
Stuff the caps
Fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mix and press down gently so it holds. Mounding it just slightly proud lets the top brown while the filling softens and melts into the cap.
Air fry
Air fry the stuffed mushrooms at 180°C for 10 min until the cheese has melted and the tops turn golden. The caps are ready when they feel tender and give a little juice when pressed.
