Ingredients to get 

  • 4 buns
  • 4 Portobello mushrooms
  • 4 teaspoons grated Parmesan
  • 4 slices of cheddar
  • 4 handfuls of sliced Romaine lettuce
  • 8 slices of cucumber pickles
  • Frying oil
  • A handful of fresh chervil
  • 8 tablespoons Ranch sauce

Breading :

  • 3 eggs
  • 70g of flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 250g panko breadcrumbs
 

Cook the "Shroom" 

For the mushrooms, remove the stems and peel the caps using a small knife or peeler. Set aside.

For the breading, prepare three shallow dishes of similar size. In the first one, put the flour. In the second one, beat the 3 eggs and season with salt and pepper. Finally, in the last one, mix the garlic powder, paprika, and panko breadcrumbs.

Dredge each of the 4 mushroom caps in the flour.

Gently tap to remove excess, dip them in the beaten eggs, then in the breadcrumbs, and gently tap again to remove excess. Set aside in the fridge for a few minutes.

In a shallow pan, fry the breaded mushroom caps at approximately 180°C for about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Place 1 slice of cheddar on each hot mushroom cap.

Toast the buns cut in half in a skillet. Spread 1 teaspoon of Ranch sauce on both sides, then place on the bottom bun 1 handful of Romaine lettuce, the breaded mushroom, pickles, and finish with some fresh chervil. Ready to serve !
