Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb button mushrooms, stems trimmed wiped clean and very dry
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp water to loosen the egg wash
  • 1.25 cup panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
  • 0.33 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated if possible
  • 1.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder optional
  • 1 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh, finely chopped
  • 0.5 tsp paprika sweet or smoked
  • 0.75 tsp fine salt divided
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup neutral oil for shallow frying; add more as needed
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat mushrooms completely dry. Trim stems if needed and set aside.
  • Set up three bowls: flour with a pinch of salt and pepper; eggs whisked with water; breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, paprika, remaining salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge mushrooms in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  • Rest breaded mushrooms on a rack or sheet for 5–10 minutes to help the coating set.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering (around 350°F).
  • Fry mushrooms in batches, turning until deep golden and crisp, 3–4 minutes total. Transfer to a rack and lightly salt.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Air fryer variation: Mist breaded mushrooms with oil spray and air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking once, until crisp. Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli. To store, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days and re-crisp in a hot oven or air fryer.
