Turn movie nights into a culinary delight: The must-try crispy fried mushroom snack recipe
Are you a fan of mushrooms? I adore them. Mushroom sauce is my preferred accompaniment to both meat and pasta, and I ensure mushroom soup is on the menu a few times every month. These low-calorie mushrooms, rich in fiber, protein, and vitamin B, make a wonderful culinary ingredient that would be a shame not to exploit in various dishes.

Today, I have an exceptional snack suggestion — with mushrooms, of course, taking the starring role. Before getting breaded and fried, these mushrooms need to be boiled. Based on personal experience, I can attest that this dish is perfect for both special family gatherings and a relaxed evening with loved ones, a good movie, and a round of board games. Trust me, the crunching won't stop!
Fried and breaded mushrooms
Ingredients:
- 14-18 oz of mushrooms,
- 1 teaspoon of oregano, thyme, or marjoram,
- salt and pepper to taste,
- breadcrumbs,
- wheat flour,
- 2-3 eggs,
- canola oil for frying.
Instructions:
- Wash and clean the mushrooms. Remember, peeling is not necessary unless you're consuming them raw. For added juiciness, boil the mushrooms in salted water.
- Once boiled, drain and dry the mushrooms. Break the eggs and whisk them on one plate, arrange breadcrumbs, wheat flour, and your preferred spices on separate plates.
- Rub the mushrooms with the spices and then proceed to coat them in the standard order: first flour, then eggs, and finally breadcrumbs.
- Fry the prepared mushrooms in the preheated canola oil. Do this gradually - adding too many mushrooms at once could lower the oil temperature, preventing the mushrooms from becoming perfectly crispy. Serve with your sauce of choice. Perhaps a garlic one? Enjoy your meal and good luck cooking!
