8 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Cook: 15 min.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 pound medium fresh mushrooms, stems removed
Oil for deep-fat frying
1 jar (26 ounces) marinara sauce or meatless spaghetti sauce
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs and water. Place the bread crumbs in another shallow dish. Add mushrooms to the flour mixture; seal and shake to coat. Dip in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs. Let stand for 10 minutes.
In a deep saucepan, electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry mushrooms, six to eight at a time, for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
Pour spaghetti sauce into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with the mushrooms. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: about 2 dozen.
