🍄 Crispy Fried Mushrooms
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 250 g (about 2 cups) button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1–2 eggs, beaten
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions

2. Set up dredging station
- Bowl 1: flour + a pinch of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder
- Bowl 2: beaten eggs
- Bowl 3: breadcrumbs
3. Coat mushrooms

4. Fry
Deep-fry method:

If you want, I can give you a garlic butter version where fried mushrooms are tossed in garlic butter after frying—super flavorful and restaurant-style 🍄🧈
