Y'all have just come in in time to watch me make
0:08
an appetizer dish that I just love,
0:11
and that's stuffed mushrooms.
0:12
You know, my mind is ticking
0:14
about what appetizers I'm gonna do,
0:18
'cause the holidays are right here on us.
0:21
And I have taken a 10 ounce package of frozen spinach,
0:28
and I have squeezed all the water out of it, y'all,
0:33
'cause when you freeze it,
0:35
it just holds a whole lot of water.
0:38
- [Eddie] Have some of it all over you.
0:39
- I know, when I squeezed it, it shot up in my face!
0:44
I could have it in my teeth or all over my face.
0:47
I've got some mushrooms,
0:48
and I'm just using the button mushrooms.
0:52
And you wanna take just a damp paper towel,
0:56
and just wipe your mushrooms.
0:59
You don't wanna put them in water
1:01
because these already contain a whole lot of water.
1:05
So we don't wanna wet them.
1:09
All right, we have got green onions.
1:11
We've got feta cheese. We've got house seasoning.
1:15
We got our mushrooms, we got Parmesan cheese,
1:18
and we got cream cheese.
1:21
So I'm just gonna mince these up a little bit more.
1:26
Let me choose one of my favorite knives.
1:30
Hopefully this one's sharp enough, yep.
1:32
I'm just gonna mince these up a little bit
1:36
'cause those holes are little in those mushrooms.
1:40
You know, it doesn't hold a lot, so.
1:45
I thought Michael said he was gonna come in here
1:47
in the kitchen and help me do this,
1:48
but apparently he was telling a story.
1:55
You don't know where he went, Eddie?
1:57
- [Eddie] No. (speaks faintly)
1:59
- Listen, his name oughtta be Eel
2:03
'cause that's how slippery he is.
2:06
He can be here one minute and then gone the next.
2:09
Does your husband do that?
2:11
That aggravates me so bad.
2:13
'Cause I would never get in my car and just leave,
2:16
you know, and not tell him, "Mikey, I'm going to the store."
2:22
But men just don't think like us, I don't think. (laughs)
2:30
That's all the fussing I'm gonna do tonight.
2:33
All the griping I'm gonna do.
2:36
All right, I'm gonna put my cream cheese in there,
2:39
and you wanna make sure it's softened.
2:43
And I'm gonna scrape my minced green onions
2:52
I'm gonna put a little house seasoning,
2:57
I'm gonna put some, well, I'm gonna get this mixed up
2:59
before I put the feta.
3:03
I'm gonna put Parmesan cheese in, and like I said,
3:09
you'll wanna make sure your cream cheese
3:11
is at room temperature.
3:13
So we just gonna get that mixed up.
3:17
- [Eddie] I love that it's not all stuffed
3:19
with like breadcrumbs. - (laughs) Yeah!
3:21
- [Eddie] You got some good stuff in there.
3:22
- [Paula] Yeah, no bread crumbs Eddie.
3:25
All right, now I'm gonna add our spinach.
3:31
And I'm just gonna give it one last squeeze.
3:37
Now I've squozed the stuffing out of that,
3:41
but I can still get some water.
3:50
Yeah, we just don't want it watery.
3:58
Okay, so there we go.
4:04
This is, you know what, this is a pretty good appetizer,
4:06
Eddie, 'cause it's not really fattening.
4:11
I don't even have any mayonnaise in this. (laughs)
4:14
- Yeah, just cream cheese. - Yeah,
4:17
and right now I'm gonna go in with my hands.
4:22
- [Eddie] Don't you love when you go to dinner with someone
4:23
who has a good appetizer?
4:27
- Why? You don't like that?
4:31
- [Eddie] No, I love it!
4:32
- Oh, I was gonna say,
4:33
I thought you said "Don't you just hate it when you-"
4:36
- [Eddie] No I said, "Don't you just love it?"
4:37
- Oh yes I do love it!
4:39
I was trying to figure out why I would hate it.
4:44
Now you can put any kinda cheese in here you want,
4:47
but we are gonna put, let me see,
4:49
I didn't use it all the seasoning,
4:56
I think that's aplenty.
5:03
That tastes real good,
5:18
And the bonus here y'all
5:20
is this recipe is in my "Air Fryer Cookbook".
5:24
So anytime I can cook something in the air fryer,
5:35
I made some biscuits earlier today,
5:39
and I cooked these in the air fryer.
5:42
Look at those beautiful biscuits.
5:45
Well, now they're as hard as my head right now.
5:49
But they cooked so beautifully in the air fryer.
5:54
All right, so this is a little pan,
6:01
if you wanna order pans to go in your air fryer,
6:04
this is some of your little pans.
6:07
So I'm gonna take this, and I'm just gonna do it
6:19
Just stuff that in there.
6:22
I might wanna spray that though, first,
6:26
just to make sure, this is a nonstick,
6:28
but I just wanna make sure.
6:33
Okay, I'm just gonna nestle those in there,
6:38
and I'm gonna push it down there good.
6:43
'Cause I don't want a skimpy mushroom, do you, Eddie?
6:47
I wanna get all I'm supposed to have.
6:57
Yeah, that was really tasty, that bite that I just took.
7:05
And that cream cheese makes it so good.
7:09
Ooh, this is a big one.
7:22
- [Eddie] Definitely a two-biter.
7:24
- Yes, (laughs) definitely a two-biter.
7:27
Now you can do all this ahead of time,
7:30
which this is a great appetizer if you're having company,
7:35
'cause you can do all this, put them in the refrigerator,
7:39
and just pop it in your oven or in your air fryer.
7:48
It's been like six or seven minutes in the air fryer.
7:56
It's amazing how much faster this air fryer cooks
8:01
versus the regular oven.
8:04
Oh, look at all the juice coming out of there.
8:14
I will need some help here.
8:18
Karrie, are you too full that eat-
8:19
- [Karrie] I really am, I am.
8:22
- [Paula] You can't eat a mushroom?
8:25
- [Karrie] I've eaten so much food.
8:29
- [Paula] Don't they look delicious?
8:34
- Are the allergies getting you?
8:36
- I think they're starting, just a teenie bit.
8:40
- Look at those, y'all.
8:44
And you could actually go ahead and put all these
8:47
in the oven and bake them off,
8:50
and then just reheat them in the air fryer.
8:53
So this is gonna be one of those easy, easy apps.
9:00
Would you like one Karrie?
9:08
I can grab something back here.
9:09
- [Paula] There you go.
9:14
- [Karrie] May be a little too hot.
9:16
- [Paula] Mm-hmm, here!
9:24
- There you go. Bon appetit to you. (laughs)
9:34
- This is probably gonna like burst all in my mouth
9:35
and be really hot. - Uh-huh, uh-huh.
9:38
Did you see on the juice in the pan?
9:43
Look at that. That pan's already cool.
9:45
But look at all the juice that cooked out of them.
9:49
Can you see that Eddie? - Mm-hmm.
9:53
- Is it too, too hot?
9:54
(Karrie mumbles) (Paula laughs)
10:00
Ooh! - They're delicious though.
10:03
- Isn't that yummy? - Mm-hmm.
10:06
Like a spinach dip in a mushroom.
10:07
- Mm-hmm, and I love the feta cheese in it,
10:10
and I love the Parmesan.
10:16
- [Karrie] Oh! Yeah, you gotta eat the whole thing.
10:19
- [Paula] Mm-hmm. (laughs)
10:23
And believe it or not, I have a very small mouth.
10:29
- I know. - I used to tell Jamie
10:30
and Bobby's daddy that, and he would call BS on me. (laughs)
10:36
- 'Cause when we'd eat steak,
10:37
you're like "I can't eat a lot.
10:39
I'll choke." - Mm-hmm,
10:41
I have to take tee-ninie princess bites on steak. (laughs)
10:54
Six minutes, over and out.
10:58
- Love and best dishes, y'all.
11:00
Need to start planning your holiday menus.
