Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz. fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth, remove the stems, and pat them dry.
- In one bowl, mix flour with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with minced garlic and paprika.
- Dip each mushroom into the flour to coat lightly, then into the egg, and finally coat with the garlic breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat about ½ inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully add the coated mushrooms in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
- Choose firm mushrooms for the best results.
