How do I keep my mushrooms from getting soggy? It’s all about the cleanin’ and the fillin’. Mushrooms usually have plenty of dirt on them, so it’s important to thoroughly clean them before preparing. Give them a quick rinse under cold water before wiping them down with a damp paper towel to remove any excess dirt. But, it’s important to not rinse them too much! Mushrooms are like sponges, and having them absorb too much water will make them soggy. Similarly, if your filling is too wet, the liquid will seep into the mushroom, making them a not ideal texture. While being creamy and cheesy, our mixture is also thick — making it a breeze for our mushrooms to stay intact. What mushrooms work the best? We love button mushrooms in this recipe, but you can also use baby bella or portobello mushroom caps instead. What kind of cheese should I use? The world is your oyster! While we wouldn’t skip out on the cream cheese — it gives the crab and artichoke mixture an unbelievable creaminess — feel free to experiment with your other favorite shredded or grated cheeses. Can I make these in the air fryer? Absolutely — stuffed mushrooms are a dream in the air fryer. Just make sure to cook your mushrooms in an even layer in the air fryer for that ideal, even texture and golden-brown topping. Feel like mixing it up?
