Golden Fried Mushrooms with Tangy Mustard Dip
Golden fried mushrooms served with tangy mustard dip—a crispy, savory appetizer perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Mushrooms:
- 250 g button mushrooms cleaned and stems trimmed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Tangy Mustard Dip:
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place beaten eggs in a separate bowl and breadcrumbs in another.
- Coat the Mushrooms: Roll each mushroom in the flour mixture, dip in the egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat for double-coating if desired.
- Fry the Mushrooms: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry mushrooms in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Dip: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and chili flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange mushrooms on a platter and serve hot with the tangy mustard dip on the side.
Notes
- For an extra punch, add grated Parmesan to the breadcrumb mixture.
- These mushrooms are best enjoyed immediately after frying to retain their crunch.
