This is delicious served with syrup or ketchup - your preference, and served alongside eggs. We also like to eat it here in Lancaster County with milk - or just browned butter - right after it's cooked. (before putting it in the loaf pan) Otherwise, pour it into the loaf pan & let it cool, then keep it in the refrigerator until cooled completely & it can easily be sliced. This recipe is so simple, I was almost embarrassed to post - but it's what we eat here - and I've seen numerous requests for this - so here it is! ENJOY!

Fried mush was a staple in our house when we were growing up. As I recall, it was often served for "supper," along with plenty of bacon and eggs and toast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. Almost any mushroom can be fried, but some are better suited for it than others. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices because they hold their shape well when fried.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If the mushrooms are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan. A cast iron skillet or a stainless steel pan are both good choices. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of fry. Cook the mushrooms in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are golden brown. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side. Don't overcook the mushrooms, or they will become tough.
  • Season the mushrooms. You can season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other desired spices.

Conclusion:

Fried mushrooms are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can make fried mushrooms that are crispy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
