- Dip each mushroom cap into the flour, coat in the egg mixture, and roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Cooking
- Pour enough oil into a skillet to cover the base and heat over medium-high until shimmering.
- Add coated mushrooms to the skillet in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once fried, transfer mushrooms to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot.
