Ingredients you need to make Baked Parmesan Mushroom

• Mushroom; I use Champignon also known as white button mushrooms. As an alternative, you can use button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, or white mushrooms. If possible, select mushrooms that are evenly sized so that they cook at the same rate.

• Egg; beaten egg used for dipping the mushrooms before coating them in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Eggs help bind the breadcrumb mixture to the mushrooms
• Parmesan Cheese; freshly grated Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient to create a cheesy and flavorful coating. Avoid buying pre-grated cheese. Not only is it less fresh but it also loses a lot of flavor during the shredding and storing process. Buy a solid block of Parmesanand grate only as much as you need
• Breadcrumbs; create a crispy coating on the mushrooms when baked. It also acts as a binding agent when combined with grated Parmesan cheese and seasonings. you can use panko breadcrumbs for gluten-free options.
• Seasonings I use Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Mushroom Powder, and Paprika Powder; Garlic powder and onion powder add savory and aromatic flavors to the dish. Mushroom powder enhances the mushroom flavor profile. Meanwhile, Paprika powder can add a mild, smoky, and slightly sweet note as well as a vibrant color to the coating.
• Dried Parsley; It adds a mild herbal freshness to the dish and is often sprinkled on top for flavor and garnish for Baked Parmesan Mushrooms.
• Salt and Pepper; This is the key to perfectly crispy baked mushrooms. You do not want to skimp on the salt and pepper, especially with the minimal ingredient list.

Instructions to Make Baked Parmesan Mushroom

I tell you the steps in making this baked parmesan mushroom;

1. Prep Oven and Baking sheet
2. Combine dry mixture
3. Dippin Mushroom
4. Bake and Done!

I know it is too simple right, you need extra patience when dipping the mushroom one by one, that’s it.

Let’s start the instruction with first thing first Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C). This will ensure that it’s hot and ready for baking when you’re done preparing the mushrooms.

Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step helps prevent the mushrooms from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup easier.

Secondly, In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients that are (parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, mushroom powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper) Mix these ingredients together thoroughly. This mixture will be used to coat the mushrooms.

Third, Dip each champignon mushroom into a beaten egg. After dipping the mushrooms in the egg, transfer them to the bowl with the dry ingredient mixture.

Fourth, roll each mushroom in the breadcrumb mixture until it’s fully coated. Make sure to press the mixture onto the mushroom to ensure it adheres well. Repeat this process for all the mushrooms.

Next, place the coated mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each mushroom to allow for even baking.

Lastly, bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

Once the Baked Parmesan Mushrooms are done baking, remove them from the oven.

Serve them while they are still warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Common choices include marinara sauce, garlic aioli, or ranch dressing.
