REPIN this Air Fryer Stuffed Mushroom recipe!
Just made these, While easy and delicious, I did find them a bit moist despite having removed the gills/lungs from the mushrooms. I think next time that I will add a few panko crumbs to try to absorb some liquid. I know…I know…not keto but I think it will be good and still lower carb. My husband gobbled up nearly all of them and just informed me that he is stuffed ‘like that mushroom.” lol
VERY GOOD!!! Easy to make!
So happy you enjoyed it, Deena!
