Garlic Filled Mushroom Balls

Here’s a tasty recipe for Garlic Filled Mushroom Balls:

Ingredients:

For the garlic filling:

• 8-10 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the mushroom balls:

• 250 grams button mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• All-purpose flour for dredging
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the garlic filling by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Take each cleaned mushroom cap and fill it with a small amount of the garlic filling.
4. Take a portion of the breadcrumb mixture and press it firmly around the filled mushroom to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms and filling.
5. Dip each mushroom ball into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated.
6. Roll the coated mushroom ball in flour to lightly coat the outside.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
8. Carefully add the coated mushroom balls to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
9. Once cooked, remove the mushroom balls from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
10. Serve the Garlic Filled Mushroom Balls hot as a delicious appetizer or snack.
