Just wanted to share an awesome recipe that I totally, absolutely did not find on Pinterest..
Ahem..
// THE GOODIES
- 1 package fresh mushrooms, washed + stalks trimmed
- 1 egg
- Parmesan cheese
- Sprinkle of seasoning (garlic, parsley, pepper.. lots of possibilities)
- 2-3 cups of breadcrumbs
// THE DETAILS
I used a little Mrs Dash garlic & herb seasoning and I made my own breadcrumbs using pretzel crackers. I mashed them with a hammer. No, really. It's cheaper than therapy and the results are delicious. I love using a pretzel cracker hybrid because it makes for extra crunchiness. Plus they are already seasoned, so it makes life a little easier. Simply dip the mushroom in the egg mixture, roll it around in the crumb mixture and place it on the cookie sheet. Bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes.
TIP: wash and wipe your hands after every couple of mushrooms. This will keep things from getting too messy and potentially disastrous.
ENJOY!
