The fried mushrooms are a fantastic autumn side dish perfect also as an appetizer! You can use mushrooms of any type: sliced champignons, porcini, prataioli, dipped in egg, then breaded in breadcrumbs and finally fried. A very quick recipe!
The result will be golden and crispy chips, just like cherries: you can’t stop at one. Golden, crispy, dry, and flavorful crust. A true indulgence. So tasty to serve on many occasions.
In short, if mushrooms are good, fried they are even better!
They can be breaded in advance and stored in the freezer: just fry them in plenty of seed oil when needed, without defrosting them.

FRIED MUSHROOMS INGREDIENTS
- 12.35 oz champignon mushrooms
- 1 egg
- to taste salt
- to taste breadcrumbs
- to taste flour

FRIED MUSHROOMS PREPARATION
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth removing the dirt and cutting off the last piece of the stem.
Slice to get slices that are not too thin (about 1/4 inch).
Pass all slices first in flour, then in beaten egg with salt, and then in breadcrumbs, to form a nice crust.
Fry in a large pan with plenty of frying oil.
Let fry for about a couple of minutes until golden, turning halfway through cooking.
Drain on absorbent paper. Here is this fantastic and delicious treat ready!
Adriana’s Tip
Serve this fry with sauces. You can also use an eggless batter instead of the classic breadcrumbs breading.
To make your mushrooms even tastier, add chopped parsley or rosemary to the breadcrumbs.
