Instructions
Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Pat the cleaned mushrooms dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Set Up the Breading Station:
- In one shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- In another shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Bread the Mushrooms:
- Coat each mushroom in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured mushroom into the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Repeat with all mushrooms.
Fry the Mushrooms:
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the breaded mushrooms in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Cool Ranch Dip:
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, dried chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until well combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve:
- Serve the crispy fried mushrooms hot with a side of Cool Ranch Dip for dipping.
Notes
- You can use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch or regular breadcrumbs for a more subtle texture.
- The Cool Ranch Dip can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
