Ingredients
Scale
1 pound button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon milk (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
Whip Up the Creamy Ranch Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of milk to thin the dressing to your desired consistency. Pop it in the fridge while you prepare the mushrooms.
Set Up Your Dredging Station: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each sliced mushroom into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure good coverage.
Fry to Perfection: Heat up your vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F. Fry the mushrooms in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Drain the fried mushrooms on paper towels to remove excess oil, and serve them hot and fresh with the chilled ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
For a crispy texture, avoid overcrowding the pan while frying. Experiment with different dips like spicy aioli for a twist.
