How to Make Fried Mushroom Appetizers

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk until light and fluffy.
  2. Season the egg mixture with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently clean and dry 1 pound of cremini mushrooms. (Larger mushrooms can be halved or quartered for even cooking).
  4. Dip each mushroom into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Place 1 cup of breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each egg-dipped mushroom in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, carefully add the breaded mushrooms in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches).
  7. Fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
  8. Remove the fried mushrooms from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! These are best served hot.
