These
crumbed mushrooms were a complete
experiment. My better half is not that
keen on mushrooms so I wanted to find a different way of doing them. I thought that a bit of crunch might be a
good thing.
I
was using ordinary little white button mushrooms. I de-stalked them.
I
made an egg mix with some crème fraiche, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper – whisked
until nice and smooth.
Dip
each mushroom into the mix and then roll in panko – Japanese breadcrumbs.
Fry
the crumbed mushrooms until golden on both sides. They were crunchy but still very noticeably
mushroomy on the inside. I will be doing
them again – maybe with a little more spice.
We actually really love fried mushrooms! I've never cooked them before but enjoy them at certain restaurants. I wonder if it might help to saute the mushrooms ahead of time and then bread them for cooking again? Think you've inspired me to do some experimenting too!

ReplyDeleteThey do look cute. Who could resist them? I bet even self-professed mushroom haters would give these a try.
ReplyDeleteThose are very pretty! I'm not much of a fan of mushrooms, either, but that might work for me!
