I don't know about you, but I miss fried food! I've made these oven fried mushrooms before I started on TSFL, but they called for cream and flour. I've adapted that recipe, and I think they are divine!
Crunchy, slightly spicy, mushroom-y, perfect!
TSFL Crunchy "Fried" Mushrooms
2 pounds whole white muchrooms
1/2 packet Medifast Cheese Pizza Bites
1/2 packet Medifast Chili Cheese Puffs
1 packet Medifast Ranch Soy Crisps
1/4 cup egg substitue
few dashes of hot sauce
1/2 tsp salt
Place all three packets of crackers/snacks and the salt into a food processor or blender and pulse until bread crumb consistency. *note - The coarser you leave the crumbs, the crunchier the mushrooms will be. However, the coarser the crumbs, the fewer mushrooms they will cover.*
Place the mushrooms, egg substitute, and hot sauce in a large plastic bowl with a lid. Secure the lid and shake until all the mushrooms are coated.
Place the mushrooms 4 at a time into the crumbs and shake to coat. Make sure each mushroom is coated evenly.
Cover a cookie sheet with foil, then place a cooling rack on top of the foil. Spray with cooking spray. Place all the mushrooms on the rack and bake at 450 degrees F for 12 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
You can eat these strait up, or with a little Walden Farms dressing. But frankly, I think that stuff is NAST-Y!!!
If you do like it, my friend says the chipotle ranch isn't bad.
This makes 2 servings. They re-heat very nicely in the oven.
1 serving (1 lb. mushrooms) = 1 Medifast meal
1/2 snack
1 1/2 cups "green"
(Not sure about the salt. I think I read somewhere that you can have 1/4 tsp added salt per day)
These would be awesome served with a steak or chicken.
YUM!!!
