How to make Crumbed Mushrooms
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems if desired.
Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Set Up Breading Station
Place the flour in a shallow dish.
In another dish, beat the eggs.
In a third dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Bread the Mushrooms
Coat each mushroom in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the mushroom into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Finally, roll the mushroom in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Fry the Mushrooms
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms in batches.
Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the crumbed mushrooms hot with your favorite dipping sauce like garlic aioli, ranch, or marinara.

FAQS

Can I make crumbed mushrooms gluten-free?

Can I bake crumbed mushrooms instead of frying them?
Absolutely! To bake crumbed mushrooms, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray them lightly with cooking oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
