    Herb Breaded Whole Mushrooms

    1 pound fresh mushrooms, small
    1/3 cup flour
    1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
    1 1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    1 large egg, lightly beaten

    Rinse, pat dry and trim stems of mushrooms; set aside. Combine flour, bread crumbs, salt and Italian seasoning; set aside.

    Dip reserved mushrooms into beaten eggs, then into crumb mixture; toss well to coat. Shake off excess crumbs.

    Heat oil in deep fat fryer to 375F.

    Add mushrooms a few at a time; fry until golden about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms to paper towels to drain; keep warm. Repeat until all mushrooms are used.

    Serves 4.

    Thanks cymro1170, is there a way without the egg (hubby allergic to them), and could they be baked instead of fried , do you think/know?

    These sound a bit basic but maybe simplicity is the key :confused:

    I'm sure you can use homemade bread crumbs and add whatever sort of seasoning takes your fancy. Not sure about how to make them garlicky though :o

    When i make breaded mushrooms i make up a breadcrumb mix, add herbs and a large dash of "garlic salt" which is availble in the herbs and spices section (its also yummy on boiled potaties)

    Once the crumb mix is made, You can bind it with a little garlic butter then wrap the mushrooms, this does tend to "crumble" a little on baking. I havent found a good binder like egg.

    If you pre cook the whole button mushrooms in garlic and butter, and drain (but dont pat with kitchen paper) then wrap in the garlick crumbs, you would literally only be frying for a few seconds to brown the crumbs as the mushroom is cooked.

    Hope this helps.

    Don't know if it's on 'thread' but I've got two family favorite baked mushroom recipes.

    The first I copied from a posh restaurant and use as a light lunch or a posh starter to impress friends.

    4 large mushrooms, in each put one level teaspoon pesto, and one slice sundried tomatoe in olive oil, and slice a pack of mozzarella into 4 slices and add one on top. Bake in a medium hot oven until mozzarella brown. Serve with green salad or ideally just rocket. Add some fresh bread if you want it to be more substantial, or to mop up the mushroom pesto juices. The pesto and sundried tomatoes make it sound expensive, but you use so little it actually works out quite cheap.

    The other one I made up after trying the above:

    Just get large mushrooms again, and put a slice of goats cheese in the top. Again oven bake and serve with salad. Even quicker and easier :D

    Instead of the flour/egg/breadcrumb thing, you could use tempura batter. It would still need to be deep fried, but it gets you over the egg allergy thing.

    Make a batter out of plain flour & VERY COLD fizzy water. I think it's meant to be lumpy. Coat your mushrooms & deep fry.
