Ingredients

  • 8 oz button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1½ cups breadcrumbs or panko
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, chives, garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and refrigerate.
  2. In three shallow bowls, prepare dredging station: Bowl 1 – flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper; Bowl 2 – beaten eggs; Bowl 3 – breadcrumbs or panko.
  3. Dip each mushroom slice into the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat well.
  4. Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Fry mushrooms in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve hot with chilled ranch dip. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Baby bella mushrooms add more flavor.
  • Panko gives extra crunch, but crushed crackers or cornflakes work too.
  • Make the dip dairy-free with vegan mayo and plant-based sour cream.
  • Add cayenne or chipotle powder to flour for heat.
  • For best results, fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
