Fried mushrooms



Button mushrooms



Ingredients :                                  *Means optional

1-2        large package(s) of fresh mushrooms

1/2        cup all purpose flour

1 1/2     cups of bread crumbs

1/4        cup parmesan cheese or shredded cheese

2           tablespoons chopped parsley

1/2       teaspoon red pepper flakes

3          eggs - lightly beaten

           vegetable oil ~ for frying

          *salt and pepper

          * horseradish sauce

Directions :

     Clean mushrooms and remove gills (if using a larger mushroom). Slice into strips (if using a larger mushroom)

If using button mushrooms, just wash well to remove all dirt.

Set up 3 deep bowls with the following ingredients.

1 ~ Flour only

2 ~ Egg wash

3 ~ Bread crumbs, parsley, and pepper flakes - mixed well

After the bowls are set up, heat oil in deep fryin pan to medium high. Also, set a plate with paper towels to the side to set mushrooms on after they are done cooking. This removes the excess oil.

Bowl one   ~  Flour only. Roll strips and cover completely.

Bowl two ~   Egg wash. Cover mushrooms completely.

Bowl three ~ Breading mixture. Roll floured and egg moistened mushrooms thru this till covered completely.

Carefully set mushrooms into preheated oil and cook for 3-5 minutes and flip once to cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes. Be sure not to flip each mushroom more then once or twice as doing so removes the breading from the mushroom.

Place cooked mushrooms on the plate with the papertowels and sprinkle desired cheese onto them while still very hot to melt cheese to breading. Serve with horseradish sauce :}

Notes :

            These mushrooms make a great side for any BBQ :)

I make them whenver my husband grills. The burgers pictured below are Quorn Classic Burgers and sliced  portabello mushrooms.
