Step 1

Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Remove the gills and stems from the underside of the mushrooms and trim the edges off. Slice into 1/4-inch strips.

Step 3

Measure flour into a pie plate. In another pie plate or bowl, combine panko, Parmigiano, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper.

Step 4

Dredge the mushrooms in flour, followed by the egg wash and finally in the panko.

Step 5

Working in batches, place the breaded mushroom slices in the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray.
