Fried Garlic Mushrooms Recipe

Clean and Prepare the Mushrooms

Rinse the button mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary.

Set Up Breading Station

In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Coat the Mushrooms

Dip each mushroom first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat them in breadcrumbs. Ensure each mushroom is well covered.

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F) or until a breadcrumb dropped in the oil sizzles.

Fry the Mushrooms

Carefully add the coated mushrooms in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Garlic

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Heat the Olive Oil

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.

Combine with Parsley

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Plate the Fried Mushrooms

On a serving plate, create a bed of garlic sauce. Arrange the fried mushrooms on top.

Add Parmesan

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fried mushrooms before serving.
