Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g (1 lb) mushrooms, cleaned
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsps chopped chives
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Coating Preparation: Create three seasoned stations using flour, whisked eggs, and herbed panko breadcrumbs, arranging them strategically for efficient mushroom breading.
- Flour Dredging: Delicately coat each mushroom in seasoned flour, ensuring a uniform and light layer that provides an ideal base for subsequent coating stages.
- Egg Wash: Immerse flour-dusted mushrooms into beaten eggs, allowing minimal excess to create a smooth, adhesive surface for breadcrumb attachment.
- Breadcrumb Encrustation: Carefully roll egg-covered mushrooms in herbed panko mixture, applying gentle pressure to guarantee a comprehensive and textured exterior.
- Air Fryer Preparation: Meticulously arrange coated mushrooms in a single, spaced layer within the air fryer basket, then lightly mist with olive oil to enhance browning potential.
- Initial Cooking Phase: Activate air fryer at 200ºC/390ºF and cook for approximately 10 minutes, developing an initial crisp and golden exterior.
- Final Browning: Rotate mushrooms to ensure balanced cooking, then return to air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes until achieving a uniform, crunchy golden-brown finish.
- Sauce Creation: Blend sour cream with finely chopped chives, garlic powder, and fresh lemon juice, seasoning with salt and pepper to craft a complementary zesty dipping accompaniment.
- Serving: Immediately plate crispy mushrooms alongside the herbaceous cream sauce, preserving optimal texture and temperature for maximum culinary enjoyment.
Notes
- Coating Technique: Create a three-stage breading process for maximum crispiness and flavor adhesion.
- Oil Application: Lightly drizzle olive oil to enhance golden browning and prevent dryness.
- Spacing Matters: Arrange mushrooms in a single layer with gaps between pieces for even air circulation and crisp texture.
- Dipping Sauce Timing: Prepare sauce while mushrooms cook to ensure maximum freshness and temperature contrast.
