FRIED MUSHROOMS WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Fried Mushrooms with Dipping Sauce image

Mushrooms are one of my favorites. I had this dish as an appetizer at a restaurant and couldn't believe how simple, delicious, and easy to make it was. I used the same concept as Shake'n Bake® to make this dish, but instead of baking, I fried them. It can either be served as an appetizer or even side dish and whenever I make it for my friends, they can't seem to get enough!

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried parsley
salt to taste
1 large egg
12 medium mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
3 tablespoons tartar sauce

Steps:

Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, and salt in a zip-top bag.
Beat egg in a large bowl. Add mushrooms and toss until well coated. Place one mushroom in the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Repeat with remaining mushrooms.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Deep-fry mushrooms until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool and drain.
Crush garlic cloves into tartar sauce and mix well. Place into a small dish and serve alongside mushrooms for dipping.
