Fried Sliced Mushrooms with Ranch

Fried Sliced Mushrooms with Ranch

Ingredients:
Produce:
– 1 lb Button or cremini mushrooms
– 1 tsp Dried dill
– 1 tsp Onion powder
– 1 tsp Parsley
– 2 tsp Powdered garlic

Refrigerated:
– 2 large Eggs

Condiments:
– 1/2 cup Mayonnaise

Baking & Spices:
– 1 cup All-purpose flour
– 3/4 tsp Black pepper
– 1/2 cup Cornmeal
– 1 tsp Paprika
– 3/4 tsp Salt

Oils & Vinegars:
– Vegetable oil (for frying)

Dairy:
– 5/16 cup Milk
– 1/2 cup Sour cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms and slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set them aside.

2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, black pepper, paprika, salt, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth.

4. Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each mushroom slice first into the wet mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated, then dredge it in the dry coating mixture. Press gently to help the coating stick.

5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

6. Fry the Mushrooms: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated mushroom slices in batches to the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan.

7. Drain the Mushrooms: Once fried, transfer the mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. Serve: Serve the fried mushrooms hot with ranch dipping sauce or your favorite sauce.
