What you'll need for crispy breaded mushrooms

The list of ingredients for this recipe is really short and preparation is quick and simple. For this recipe you will need:

  • WHITE or BROWN (CREMINI) MUSHROOMS: We used brown mushrooms but white button mushrooms will also work fine. Choose medium to large mushrooms of the same size. 

  • FINE BREADCRUMBS: Fine dried breadcrumbs are perfect for this recipe so they make super crispy thin coating.

  • SEASONING: Herbs are what makes these mushrooms extra delicious. We opted for a mix of dried thyme and oregano plus fresh rosemary (chopped very finely so they stick easily). Use any other mix of herbs of your choice (parsley, basil, dill...). In addition, season the flour with salt and ground black pepper.

  • OLIVE OIL: Use good quality olive oil and be sure to brush generously each mushroom slice. This ensures mushrooms not to dry out and to become crispy and delicious once baked.
