Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a small saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Spread bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Dip mushroom slices in beaten egg, dredge them in bread crumbs to coat, and cook them in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Repeat until all mushrooms are cooked; drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
