2 eggs

⅛ cup milk

# Instructions:
01 -
Clean the mushrooms and lightly sprinkle them with salt. Set aside.

Use three containers or mixing bowls. In the first container, combine flour, oregano, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, salt, chili flakes, basil, and thyme. In the second, whisk eggs with milk. In the third, add bread crumbs and season with additional salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes if desired.

Place mushrooms in the flour mixture, cover with a lid, and shake to coat evenly. Transfer to the egg mixture, cover, and shake again. Move the mushrooms to the breadcrumb container, cover, and shake to coat thoroughly. Arrange coated mushrooms on a clean plate and repeat with remaining mushrooms.

Fill a pan with 1–2 inches of oil and heat to 350°F. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Fry mushrooms in small batches (about 6 at a time) for 6–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Allow the oil to return to 350°F between batches.

Remove fried mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing or your preferred dipping sauce.
