Start by cleaning the mushrooms: gently wipe them with a damp paper towel to remove any soil. Trim away the stems if desired for uniform shape.
Set up your breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish. In a second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dip each mushroom first into the flour and tap off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, roll the mushroom in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's completely coated.
Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat to about 175°C (350°F). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden brown in about 15 seconds.
Carefully place the breaded mushrooms in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 3–4 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately as they are best crispy and hot. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce like garlic aioli or ranch for an extra flavor kick!
