Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) mushrooms
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup flour
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Salt
- Pepper
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Meticulously cleanse the mushrooms using a slightly dampened cloth, gently removing any dirt without waterlogging them. Carefully trim the stems to create uniform, attractive caps.
- Sprinkle each mushroom cap with a delicate layer of salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring an even distribution of seasoning.
- Gently dust the seasoned mushrooms with a light coating of flour, carefully shaking off any excess to prevent clumping during cooking.
- Submerge the floured mushrooms into whisked eggs, allowing each piece to be completely enveloped in the silky egg mixture.
- Combine breadcrumbs with fragrant dried oregano and thyme in a wide, shallow dish. Carefully roll each egg-coated mushroom in the herb-infused breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to create a uniform, crispy exterior.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium temperature. Carefully place the breaded mushrooms into the hot oil, allowing them to transform into a golden, crispy delicacy. Rotate once to ensure even browning, cooking approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the perfectly golden mushrooms onto a wire rack lined with absorbent paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain and maintaining their delightful crispiness.
- Plate the mushrooms immediately while piping hot, accompanied by a zesty garlic aioli or tangy yogurt dip to complement their rich, crispy texture. Serve as an irresistible appetizer or side dish that promises to tantalize the taste buds.
Notes
- Wiping mushrooms clean removes dirt and ensures a pristine base for cooking.
- Seasoning before coating creates deeper flavor layers throughout the dish.
- Herbed breadcrumbs transform simple mushrooms into a crispy, aromatic delicacy with minimal effort.
