Instructions
- Heat oil in the pan over medium heat if pan frying. If deep frying, heat oil to about 375°F, or turn on medium heat and test with sprinkle of flour for sizzle.
- Combine flour and seasoned salt in large bowl or zip-top bag.
- For Thin Mushroom Breading: Pour mushrooms into flour/salt mixture and stir or shake to coat.
- When oil is heated through (to test, sprinkle a pinch of flour in oil—if it sizzles, it’s ready).
- For Thicker Mushroom Breading: Coat mushrooms in the eggs, then seasoned flour, and place the mushrooms in the heated oil.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping if necessary, until mushrooms turn golden brown.
- If deep frying, fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain on a plate topped with paper towels to soak up excess oil. Serve warm!
Notes
Wash your mushrooms but do not soak them! You can also sprinkle on additional seasonings after frying if desired.
