Baked Breaded Mushrooms with Sesame Sauce


  • Prep Time: 10 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 Minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Description

Crispy breaded mushrooms have long been a popular appetizer, and for good reason. The combination of tender mushrooms and a crispy coating creates a delightful contrast that leaves you craving for more.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup tuxedo sesame seeds
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 8 oz Monterey Mushrooms®, whole
  • 2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced into ribbons
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
  • 1 radish, thinly sliced
  • 1 small carrot, cut into 1/8-inch matchsticks
  • Sesame dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in small shallow bowl. Place eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Dip mushrooms in eggs, then into bread crumb mixture, shaking off any excess. Place breaded mushrooms in a single layer on prepared baking sheet and coat with olive oil cooking spray. Bake, flipping mushrooms halfway through, until golden-brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Divide rice into 4 bowls. Top with mushrooms, cabbage, cucumbers, avocados, radishes and carrots. Drizzle with sesame dressing.
  4. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Here are two tips to enhance your dish:

1. Swap out store-bought miso dressing with a homemade version. Just mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of finely grated ginger. Whisk these ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Drizzle this delicious dressing over your bowls and serve.

2. Create cucumber ribbons by using a vegetable peeler or mandoline to thinly slice the cucumbers. This technique adds a unique touch to your dish.
