Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh whole mushrooms (white button or cremini)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Ranch dressing
- Spicy mayo
- Creamy garlic sauce
Instructions
- Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and pat dry. Trim stems if needed.
- Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in one bowl. In another, whisk egg and milk. Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- In a skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Test with a breadcrumb — it should sizzle immediately.
- Dip each mushroom in the flour mixture, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat.
