Keto Cheese Button Mushrooms
Equipment
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Oven
- air fryer
Ingredients
Mushroom
- 12-15 Cremini Mushrooms or button mushrooms
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- ⅛ tsp Crushed Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
Filling
- ¼ cup Bell Pepper (I used rainbow peppers)
- ¼ cup Onion ,chopped
- 2 tbsp Cilantro ,chopped
- 1 tbsp Jalapeno or green chili, finely chopped
- ½ cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese Or any assorted shredded cheese
- 1 tsp Ground Coriander
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Paprika or Kashmiri Red Chilli
Instructions
Prepare the Mushrooms
- Gently clean each mushroom using a damp cloth until it’s clean. Remove stems from each mushroom and only collect the mushrooms’ cap hollow for the recipe.
- Now, in a bowl toss the mushroom caps with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Keep aside to let it cool.
Make the filling
- Take another bowl and combine chopped peppers, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, shredded cheese, and spices in that. Mix everything until it is well mixed.
Filling the Mushrooms
- Now using a small spoon, stuff the mushroom caps carefully with the filling. Use the back of the spoon to press the pack the filling into the mushroom cap hollow. Make sure you fill each mushroom pretty full.
Cooking the Mushrooms in Oven
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F for 2-3 minutes. Before inserting mushrooms directly into the oven, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or aluminum foil sheet. Bake them for 15 to 18 minutes. Make sure your mushrooms turn dark brown, and the cheese melts and looks slightly golden brown.
Cooking the Mushrooms in Air Fryer
- Carefully place the stuffed mushrooms in the air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F for at least 9-10 minutes.
- Let the mushrooms rest for serving on a platter. Enjoy!

I have been struggling with type 2 diabetes and obesity for over 5 years but I’m finally off of almost all of my medication and down 73kg thanks to keto.
I had no idea where to start and felt helpless untill one of my friends recommended me the keto diet. I was very reluctant to start as I didn’t even know what keto is and what foods I can or can’t eat.
I’m stronger, healthier, fitter and have more energy than ever in my life and just as she helped me I would like to help you.
