Instructions
Wash mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Pat them dry and remove the stems.
8 large portobello mushrooms
Dice the bell pepper, jalapeño peppers, and onion. Make sure to remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños. Crumble the bacon.
1 cup bell pepper, 3 jalapeños, 1/3 cup bacon, 1 tablespoon onion
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chili lime seasoning, garlic, and salt and stir. You can use a food processor or mixer to combine the ingredients.
12 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons chili lime seasoning, 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic, salt and black pepper
Add the bell, jalapeño peppers, bacon, and onions to the cream cheese mixture.
Generously stuff the inside of the mushroom caps with the cheese mixture.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed crackers with chili lime seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
1 1/2 cups crackers, 2 teaspoons chili lime seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Pinch salt
Beat eggs and milk in another mixing bowl.
2 eggs, 1/3 cup milk
Dunk mushrooms into egg mixture; then dredge in cracker mixture. Make sure the mushroom is covered with the breading.
Preheat air fryer at 370 degrees F for 3 minutes.
Put the breaded mushrooms in the air fryer basket. Keep them in a single layer and cook them in batches if necessary. Air fry the mushrooms in the air fryer at 370 degrees F for 15 minutes til the outside is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
For a crispier finish, lightly spray tops and sides of mushrooms with olive oil spray
Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before starting.
If you want smaller mushrooms, you can stuff baby Bellas.
Try to pick mushrooms of the same size, so they cook at the same rate.
