Best Deep Fried Mushrooms Battered Crumbed Recipes

CRISPY DEEP-FRIED BREADED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean mushrooms and sprinkle with some salt. Set aside while you prepare your breading station.
• Bring out 3 descent-sized Tupperware containers with lids. These will be part of your breading station. Alternatively, you can use mixing bowls if you like.
• In one container, place the flour. oregano, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, salt. red chili flakes, basil, and thyme. Mix to combine. In another container, break in the eggs and beat together with 1/8 cup milk. In the final container, add the breadcrumbs. I usually add a touch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder here (and some more red chili flakes for the spice lovers!)
• Working in batches, place mushrooms in flour mixture. Put on lid and shake until mushrooms are fully coated. Transfer those mushrooms to the egg mixture and shake until fully coated again. Finally, move the mushrooms to the breadcrumbs and shake until evenly coated. Place coated mushrooms on a separate, clean plate and repeat until all mushrooms are coated.
• Pour enough oil into your pan that will allow you to deep-fry the mushrooms. Anywhere from 1-2 inches. Heat to 350F (a candy thermometer is best here.) When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms in small batches, about 6 mushrooms at a time. Deep-fry for 6-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through so you get a nice, golden brown color on the mushrooms. Times will vary depending on your temperature. NOTE: Oil temperature will drop drastically when you add the mushrooms in, so before you move onto your next batch of mushrooms, make sure the oil reheats to 350F.
• Remove from oil and place them in a bowl that is lined with paper towel to catch any oil drippings. Cook until all the mushrooms are completed.
• Serve with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce!

BEER BATTERED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Gently brush off any dirt from the mushrooms.
• Beat the egg well. Add black pepper, baking powder, oil, and seasoning salt and mix well.
• Pour in the beer and add the flour and mix thoroughly. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.
• Heat the oil to approximately 375 degrees F (190 C} in a deep fryer. Click for a deep fryer.
• Dip a few mushrooms into the batter, allow excess batter to drip off.
• Carefully add some mushrooms to the hot oil. Leave plenty of room, don't crowd the cooking process.
• Let cook, attended, until puffed and golden, about 5 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or tongs to turn them over half way through cooking.
• Immediately drain the mushrooms on paper towel.
• Repeat with all mushrooms, giving a few minutes in between batches to allow oil to reach proper temperature again.
• Serve warm with Ranch dressing, Thousand Island dressing, Blue Cheese dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.

• 4. Coat the battered mushroom in breadcrumbs and fry until golden.
• 5. Drain on paper towels and let stand for a few minutes as the mushroom will be piping hot inside. Season with salt & pepper as desired.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by frying a drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
• Dip mushrooms into the batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

• Place a batch of mushrooms in the air fryer basket, making sure none are overlapping. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes. Shake basket and spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes more. Repeat with remaining mushrooms.
