👨‍🍳 Steps

1Rinse mushrooms quickly, pat dry with paper towels, and remove stems.

2Use a teaspoon to gently scrape out the gills, creating more room for filling.

3In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, chili-lime seasoning, minced garlic, bell pepper, jalapeño, crumbled bacon, and minced onion to make the filling.

4Fill each mushroom cap with the mixture, pressing lightly.

5In a bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs or crushed crackers with garlic powder, milk, and a pinch of salt.

6Preheat air fryer to 190°C (370°F) for 5 minutes.

7Dip each stuffed mushroom first into the beaten eggs, then into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly.

8Place mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

9Cook for 10 minutes, then spray with olive oil spray.

10Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, until the topping is crispy and golden.
