Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large white mushrooms
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems carefully, creating a hollow cavity for stuffing.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture and set aside.

Step 4

Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk in a second dish, and place breadcrumbs in a third dish.

Step 5

Coat each stuffed mushroom in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated on all sides.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully fry the breaded mushrooms in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

While the mushrooms cool slightly, prepare the horseradish dipping sauce by combining mayonnaise, horseradish, sour cream, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 9

Serve the fried mushrooms warm with horseradish dipping sauce on the side.
