Let’s dive into the process of making these delicious mushrooms, which is as enjoyable as eating them!

1. Start by cleaning your mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. In another dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
4. Place breadcrumbs in a third dish.
5. Dip each mushroom slice into the flour mixture, then into the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. This triple-layer ensures a crispy crust.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a breadcrumb in to see if it sizzles), carefully add the mushrooms in batches to avoid overcrowding.
7. Fry the mushrooms for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve the mushrooms hot with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.

As my abuela always said, “Cooking is about feeling more than following.” Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your liking.
