Ingredients
Scale
- Button or Cremini Mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Vegetable Oil, for frying
- Fresh Parsley, optional for garnish
- Optional Dipping Sauces: Ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Trim the stems if needed.
- In one bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper.
- Dip each mushroom into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Add about 1 inch of vegetable oil to your frying pan and heat it to 375°F (190°C). Test by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready.
- Carefully place the mushrooms into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Maintain oil temperature at 375°F (190°C) for consistent results. Fry mushrooms in small batches to avoid soggy results. Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
