Vintage Mushroom Schnitzels
These vintage Mushroom Schnitzels turn whole mushroom caps into a wonderfully simple meatless meal. Dipped in egg and flour, then fried in butter until tender and golden, they’re proof that some of the best old-fashioned recipes need very few ingredients.
Ingredients
Method
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and finely chop them.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until softened and any excess moisture has cooked away.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and allow them to cool slightly.
- Add the egg, flour, a little softened or melted butter, and salt.
- Mix everything together until the mixture holds together well enough to shape.
- Divide the mushroom mixture into 5–6 portions and form each into a small schnitzel or oval patty.
- Coat each mushroom schnitzel in breadcrumbs.
- Heat a little oil and butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the schnitzels until golden brown and crisp on both sides, approximately 3–4 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
