1 tbsp (15 mL) butter, melted
¼ cup (60 mL) plain breadcrumbs
½ tsp (2 mL) Garlic & Herb Rub
Toss the mushrooms, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Place them on the cooking trays of the Deluxe Air Fryer.
For the filling, grate the mozzarella with the Microplane® Adjustable Coarse Grater. Finely chop the green onions. Add the mozzarella, onions, and remaining filling ingredients to a medium bowl and mix well.
Use a scoop or spoon to stuff the mushrooms. For the topping, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and rub in a small bowl. Dip the mushrooms (filling-side down) into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Place the trays on the top and bottom racks of the air fryer. Turn the wheel to select the ROAST setting; press the wheel to select. Turn the wheel to adjust the time to 15 minutes; press the wheel to start. Switch the trays halfway through cooking (you’ll hear beeps as a reminder).
