Fried Mushrooms
Enjoy perfectly crisp and golden fried mushrooms that are irresistible and quick to make, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Mushrooms
- 1 pound fresh button mushrooms Cleaned and trimmed
For the Breading
- 1 cup all-purpose flour For dusting the mushrooms
- 2 large eggs, beaten For coating
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For a crunchy texture
- 1 teaspoon salt To season the breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon black pepper To season the breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola) Enough to fry the mushrooms
Instructions
Preparation
- Gently clean the mushrooms using a damp cloth, removing traces of dirt while keeping their structure intact. Trim off any tough stems.
- Create a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mix of panko breadcrumbs combined with salt and pepper in a third.
Breading the Mushrooms
- Coat each mushroom by rolling it in flour, dipping it into the beaten eggs, then rolling it in the panko mixture.
Frying
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the mushrooms in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Consider air frying for a healthier option, and use whole wheat or almond flour for variations.
