- You must prepare the mushrooms first by washing them gently under cold water, slicing them lenghtwise into strips (the bigger the mushroom, the more slices you can get), then soak them overnight in salt water in the refrigerator.
- When you are ready to fry'em up: beat eggs in one bowl.
- crush crackers in another bowl.
- dip sliced mushrooms into egg.
- then dip into crackers.
- if you wish, you can"double dip" by putting them back into egg and roll in crackers agian.
- put them into the heated pan with butter already melted.
- fry mushrooms until"crust" is golden brown or slightly darker, mushrooms must be turned to evenly cook both sides.
- put on paper towl to drain and ENJOY!

I love these but never really knew how to prepare them before cooking them. I soaked for 24 hours in salt water, dipped in egg and then in a mixture of flour, garlic powder and salt and fried in vegetable oil and butter. My hubby and I loved them. Thanks for helping me out. I have plenty more in the freezer, breaded up and waitin on me to eat em up!

Thank you so much for this recipe. We love the wild mushrooms here in Ky but we call them "Dry Land Fish". I have always fried them in oil and never really liked the taste. The always tasted like oil to me. But I tried using butter today and they are great. Only difference is I use flour instead of crackers. Thanks again for your recipe.

I live in rural Iowa, surounded by corn fields! We have two children, a boy(1995) & girl(1998), and two Rottweillers. I know these are considered "dangerous" dogs, but they are a working class dog, and when they are raised properly and taken care of well, they are very loyal, beautiful dogs and well behaved. (ANY DOG can be vicious when it is abused, just like any human can be vicious when abused!)Anyway, enough of my soapbox! I am glad I found this website, because of the many new and traditional recipe's I have found! We enjoy gardening, car shows, camping, riding ATV's & motorcycles (my son rides a 50cc right now and he is great on it!), road trips, & being sponaneous!
