Ingredients

  • 500 grams Button mushrooms
  • 120 grams All-purpose flour
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 150 grams Breadcrumbs
  • 50 grams Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring they are mixed evenly.

Step 5

Set up a breading station in the following order: flour mixture, beaten eggs, and breadcrumb mixture.

Step 6

Dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture, coating it evenly, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 7

Repeat the breading process for all mushrooms and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach approximately 180°C (350°F) for frying—test by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 9

Carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the fried mushrooms immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli, ranch, or marinara. Enjoy!
