Ingredients

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup 64-grams all-purpose flour, divided
  • 10 large eggs divided
  • 1 tablespoon 15-ml water
  • 6 tablespoons 54-grams cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons 8-grams chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 tablespoons 9-grams chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon 15-ml olive oil or (14-grams) margarine

Instructions

  • Rinse, trim, and dry the mushrooms.
  • Place 1/4 cup (32-grams) flour in a dish.  Place 2 eggs in another dish and beat with 1 tablespoon water. 
  • Mix the remaining 1/4 cup (32 grams) flour, cornmeal, parsley, sage, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt in a third dish. Coat the portobellos with the flour.
  • Dip each mushroom into the egg mixture, making sure to coat the entire surface. Then dip into the flour-cornmeal mixture, making sure to coat the entire surface. Place the mushrooms on a cake rack and let them air-dry for at least 15 minutes. 
  • Heat about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) vegetable oil (enough to come halfway up the sides of the mushrooms) in a large sauté pan over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to make a breadcrumb sizzle, fry the mushrooms for about 3 minutes on each side side or until crispy and golden brown.
  • Beat the remaining 8 eggs and the chives in a bowl. 
  • Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are almost set but still glossy. Transfer the eggs to serving plates accompanied by a fried mushroom.
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS AND VARIATIONS: If the mushrooms are large enough, you can serve the eggs inside of them. If you prefer, fry the eggs in butter for a dairy meal.
