Crispy Fried Mushrooms are a crunchy, golden snack or side dish that’s perfect with dipping sauce. 🍄✨
Crispy Fried Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) fresh mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crispiness)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Prepare the Breading
- In one bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk.
- Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Coat the Mushrooms
- Dip each mushroom first in flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs.
- Make sure each mushroom is fully coated for maximum crispiness.
- Heat the Oil
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 1–2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Mushrooms
- Fry mushrooms in batches, 2–3 minutes per batch, until golden brown.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy dipping sauce.
Optional Tips
- Add grated Parmesan to breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
- For an oven-baked version, spray coated mushrooms with cooking spray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- You can also use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangier, extra-crispy coating.
If you want, I can also give a Southern-style fried mushroom recipe that’s extra crispy and seasoned like restaurant-style.
