Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place breadcrumbs, flour and eggs into 3 separate shallow bowls. Dip mushrooms into flour, then into egg, and then into breadcrumbs, evenly coating each mushroom. Place mushrooms, top-side-down in a single layer onto prepared baking sheet. Coat both sides of mushrooms with olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden-brown.
