Ingredients
Scale
- 300 grams (10.5 oz) mushrooms
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Preparation: Thoroughly cleanse mushrooms under running water, trimming and discarding stems to create uniform caps ready for seasoning.
- Seasoning: Distribute salt and black pepper evenly across mushroom surfaces, enhancing their inherent earthy essence with balanced flavor profiles.
- Coating Process: Gently dust mushrooms with flour, then dip into whisked eggs, ensuring a smooth adhesive layer for the herbed breadcrumb mixture of oregano and thyme.
- Breading Technique: Meticulously coat each mushroom in the aromatic herb-infused breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to guarantee comprehensive coverage and textural integrity.
- Frying Method: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high temperature, strategically positioning breaded mushrooms to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior with optimal crispness.
- Finishing Touch: Extract mushrooms once they reach a rich, amber-like coloration, allowing excess oil to drain on absorbent paper towels to preserve their delectable crunch and maintain optimal texture.
Notes
- Rinse Thoroughly: Remove stems carefully and wash mushrooms under cool water to ensure clean, uniform surfaces for optimal coating and texture.
- Season Generously: Use salt and black pepper evenly across mushroom caps to enhance their natural earthy flavor and create a robust taste profile.
- Coat Precisely: Apply flour, egg, and herbed breadcrumb layers gently but firmly to achieve a perfectly crisp and golden exterior.
- Control Oil Temperature: Maintain medium heat while frying to guarantee even browning and prevent burning, creating a crunchy, delectable result.
