Ingredients
This recipe has just a handful of flavorful ingredients and can be made in under an hour.
Here's what you need:
Mushrooms
You can use whatever type of mushrooms that you like as long as they are round and can be hollowed. Portobello or button mushrooms are the most popular choice.
Pork Rind Crumbs
These hold the same purpose as bread crumbs in a recipe but are a way better option for keeping things low-carb. You can buy them from a store, or make your own keto pork rind breadcrumbs.
Cheese
Parmesan and cream cheese add a delicious creaminess to this recipe, making them completely satisfying.

Quick tips
- To avoid watery mushrooms, roast them upside down in the oven for a few minutes before filling them. Pre-roasting will help to evaporate any excess moisture that could cause soggy mushrooms.
- To avoid wasting any of your ingredients, add the mushroom stems to the stuffing mix. They are flavorful and will blend right in while bulking up the mix.
- Buy only unflavored pork rind crumbs to avoid changing the flavor profile of your stuffed mushrooms.
Instructions
Making these mushrooms may look complicated, but it is actually very simple and can be done in no time at all. There is hardly any prep work, and the majority of the time, they will be cooking in the oven.

Clean The Mushrooms
Thoroughly clean all of your mushrooms, drying them before setting them aside to move on to the next step. Make sure to save the mushroom stems, as those will go into the stuffing mix.
You can either wash them under cold water briefly or wipe them down with a damp towel. Either way works!
Make The Filling
Briefly saute the mushroom stems and garlic before adding them to the rest of the ingredients.
Combine the pork rind crumbs, mushroom stems, seasonings, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and parsley.
Mix everything together well so that each mushroom will have a variety of ingredients in the stuffing.
Stuff The Mushrooms
Stuff your mushrooms with the stuffing mix that you made and line the mushrooms on a baking sheet.
Bake and Enjoy!
Bake them for 20 minutes in a 400-degree oven until they are cooked through.

Yum, so good. I love the parm in these. I can't resist topping with more cheese and broiling for a few minutes. Lovely recipe.

Could you make these in the air fryer? If so, what temp and how long would you suggest?
Lisa MarcAurele
I'd say air fry at 360°F for 14 to 16 minutes.
