→ Main Ingredients
01 -
½ cup all-purpose flour
02 -
16 oz of button mushrooms, remove the stems
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 cup of flavored bread crumbs
05 -
⅛ cup of milk
06 -
½ tsp of ground oregano
07 -
Salt to season
08 -
¼ tsp of chili flakes
09 -
¼ tsp of dried basil
10 -
¼ tsp of thyme leaves
11 -
¼ tsp of cayenne pepper
12 -
½ tsp of black pepper
13 -
½ tsp of garlic powder
14 -
Vegetable oil for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the mushrooms and sprinkle them with a bit of salt. Set them aside for later.
02 -
Grab three bowls. In one bowl, mix together the flour with oregano, garlic powder, cayenne, pepper, salt, chili flakes, basil, and thyme. In a second, beat the eggs and stir in the milk. In the third, add bread crumbs and, if you like, toss in a little more seasoning such as salt, garlic powder, or chili flakes.
03 -
Toss the mushrooms in the flour mixture, then pop them into a container with a lid and shake to coat. Dunk them in the egg bowl, then shake again. Finally, toss them in the breadcrumbs container, shake it, and place them on a clean plate. Keep going until you’ve coated all the mushrooms.
04 -
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Use a thermometer to keep an eye on the temp. Drop a few mushrooms in at a time—around six—and let them fry for 6–10 minutes. Flip them halfway through. Make sure your oil's back to 350°F before frying the next batch.
05 -
Lay the fried mushrooms on a plate with paper towels to soak up the oil. Eat them while they’re hot with a side of ranch or your favorite dip.
