Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Mushrooms: Clean fresh mushrooms under cool running water, scrub away dirt, pat dry, and slice into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
  2. Set Up Dredging Station: Place three bowls, one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with mixed breadcrumbs and spices.
  3. Coat Mushrooms: Dredge mushroom slices in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
  4. Heat Oil: In a frying pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Fry Mushrooms: Add coated mushrooms in batches to hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried mushrooms to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. Serve Warm: Plate the mushrooms and serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.
