Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300 grams (10.5 ounces) mushrooms
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup flour
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Salt
- Black pepper
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Gently cleanse the mushrooms with a moistened cloth, meticulously removing any debris. Carefully detach the stems, preserving the delicate caps for crispy transformation.
- Delicately sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper across the mushroom surfaces, calibrating the seasoning to personal taste preferences.
- Gracefully dust the seasoned mushrooms with a light veil of flour, ensuring an even, gossamer-like coating. Tap gently to eliminate any surplus powder.
- Immerse the floured mushrooms into a whisked egg bath, allowing complete submersion and thorough coverage.
- Combine breadcrumbs with aromatic oregano and earthy thyme in a separate vessel. Methodically roll each egg-soaked mushroom through the herbed mixture, guaranteeing comprehensive coverage.
- Heat vegetable oil in a robust skillet until it reaches a gentle shimmer. Carefully introduce the coated mushrooms, frying them to a golden, crisp perfection. Rotate midway to ensure uniform browning, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Strategically transfer the sizzling mushrooms onto an absorbent paper towel landscape, allowing excess oil to dissipate and maintaining their exceptional crunch.
- Present immediately while piping hot, accompanied by a zesty garlic aioli or tangy yogurt dip to elevate the culinary experience.
Notes
- Mushroom preparation demands gentle handling to preserve their delicate texture and prevent waterlogging.
- Seasoning creates a flavor foundation that transforms ordinary mushrooms into a mouthwatering appetizer.
- Crispy coating technique involves three strategic layers: flour, egg wash, and herbed breadcrumbs for maximum crunch and taste sensation.
