Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or panko)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (enough for deep frying)
Instructions
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.
- Clean the mushrooms by rinsing them gently under cool water and patting them dry.
- Dip each mushroom into the flour first, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in bread crumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to about 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the coated mushrooms in batches until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes each. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels; sprinkle lightly with salt.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix garlic powder or paprika into the flour before breading.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat in an oven at 350°F for optimal crispiness.
