🕰️ A Little History of Fried Mushrooms
Mushrooms have been enjoyed for centuries as a delicacy in Europe and Asia. Fried mushrooms, in particular, became popular as a crispy snack and appetizer in American cuisine, often paired with dips like ranch, aioli, or cheese sauce.
The idea of coating mushrooms in flour or breadcrumbs and frying them is inspired by traditional techniques of creating crispy, flavorful bites, which has been passed down and adapted in home and restaurant kitchens worldwide.

1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
