Author Notes
I take lowly mushrooms and transform them into the most delicious mushroom munchies. This dish is perfect for game night and ideal as an after school snack. —Elle Green
Ingredients
-
1 cup
all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1 teaspoon
sea salt
-
1/2 cup
Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
-
1/4 cup
Fontina cheese, grated
-
1
shallot, minced
-
1 tablespoon
parsley, finely chopped
-
5 sprigs
thyme (leaves only), finely chopped
-
1
egg
-
1 cup
cremini mushrooms, diced
-
1 cup
chanterelle mushrooms, diced
-
3 ounces
water
-
vegetable oil
Directions
-
Place dry ingredients and herbs in a mixing bowl, stirring well. To that, add mushrooms and cheese, creating a small well. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and water and pour into the well, stirring to fully incorporate batter.
-
Place pot over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Once oil has reached 350° F, using a #100 ice cream scoop, lower mushroom batter. Resist the urge to over crowd the oil. Allow munchies to cook approximately 1-2 minutes. Using tongs or a kitchen spider, carefully remove and enjoy immediately.
