🍄 Crispy Garlic Breaded Mushrooms
🧾 Ingredients:
-
1 pound fresh mushrooms (button or cremini work best)
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crunch)
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and a hint of spice)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Mushrooms:
Gently clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel (don’t wash them under running water). Remove stems if desired, or keep them whole.
2. Prepare the Breading Station:
-
Bowl 1: Add the flour.
-
Bowl 2: Beat the eggs.
-
Bowl 3: Mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Bread the Mushrooms:
One at a time:
-
Dredge in flour (shake off excess)
-
Dip into the beaten egg
-
Coat in seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the coating stick
4. Fry the Mushrooms:
-
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Test with a breadcrumb: if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
-
Fry mushrooms in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
-
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve:
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, marinara, or garlic aioli.
