Start by cleaning your fresh mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice them evenly to ensure they cook consistently.

In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In a second bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Dip each mushroom slice first into the flour mixture, coating well, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs. Press the crumbs onto the mushrooms to ensure an even coating.

In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a breadcrumb in; if it sizzles, it’s time to fry!

Working in batches, carefully place the breaded mushrooms into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan.

Once cooked, transfer the fried mushrooms onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve immediately with your favorite ranch dressing for dipping. Enjoy the crunchy goodness!
