The first known recipe for stuffed mushrooms was published in 1918 by the French chef Auguste Escoffier. However, stuffed mushrooms didn’t become popular in the United States until the 1950s. Since then, they have become a staple appetizer and side dish at parties and gatherings. With the rise of air fryers, this classic dish can now be made with a healthier twist.
