If you love mushrooms and want a different and tasty way to prepare them, then Mushroom Cakes in Air Fryer are the perfect recipe for you! They are delicious and perfect as an appetizer, but you can also enjoy them as a main dish or as a snack for an aperitif or buffet.
To cook these Mushroom Cakes I used only my Air Fryer: I cooked the champignon mushrooms in a pan, once ready, I transferred them to a bowl along with eggs, flour, and cheese, and in a few minutes, I cooked them in muffin molds, inserting a piece of cheese in the center to make them even tastier.
Mushrooms are an extremely versatile ingredient and you can prepare many dishes, from first courses like Lasagna with Mushrooms and Sausages in an Air Fryer to side dishes like Breaded Cardoncelli in Air Fryer
Now, I will show you how to prepare these Cakes in the air fryer

Steps
Rinse the mushrooms under running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer them to a baking dish with a garlic clove and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed chili pepper, and some parsley stems
Cook at 356°F for 8 minutes
If there is too much liquid remaining in the baking dish, strain them with a sieve and remove the garlic and parsley stems
While the mushrooms cool, chop the parsley
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the Grana Padano cheese using a whisk
Add 3 tablespoons of flour and mix again
Now add the mushrooms, parsley, salt, and pepper to the mixture
Mix the ingredients well
Grease the inside of the muffin cases with some oil and sprinkle them with breadcrumbs
Fill the muffin cases by inserting cheese cubes
After filling all the molds, spray a little oil on the surface and transfer them to the grill
Insert the tray into the air fryer and cook at 338°F for 15 minutes and until the surface is golden
Remove the tray, let them cool for a few minutes and use a knife to detach them from the edges of the mold
Here are the mushroom cakes ready to be served!
