The mushrooms can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or as part of a larger meal. They are also great for topping salads, pizzas, and sandwiches. For a classic dish, try pairing fried breaded mushrooms with a creamy dip or savory sauce. For added flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or herbs such as parsley or thyme.
