Mushrooms

Breading

Ranch Dressing

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Rinse the fresh button mushrooms under cold water and gently scrub to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three shallow bowls, prepare your breading station. In the first bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 0.5 cup of milk. In the third bowl, combine 2 cups of breadcrumbs, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of onion powder, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper.

Breading Process

  1. 3

    Bread the Mushrooms

    Take each mushroom and first dip it into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip it into the egg and milk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy-bottom pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Mushrooms

    Carefully lower the breaded mushrooms into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and drain them on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Ranch Dressing

    Transfer the fried mushrooms to a serving platter and serve hot with 1 cup of ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
