Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel (avoid soaking them in water). Slice them evenly—not too thin or they’ll overcook.
2. Set Up Breading Stations
In one bowl: flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a second bowl: beaten eggs.
In a third bowl: breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom slice in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure a good coating.
4. Fry Until Golden
Heat oil in a skillet (about ½ inch deep) over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry mushrooms in batches, about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
5. Drain and Serve
Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side.
🧂 Optional Add-Ons
- Add grated Parmesan to your breadcrumb mix for cheesy flavor
- Toss in a pinch of cayenne for heat
- Try different dips: chipotle mayo, blue cheese, or honey mustard
