Rice flour is gluten-free and can add a light texture.

Clean the porcini mushrooms gently with a damp cloth or brush, avoiding rinsing them under running water.

Trim the end of the stems and slice the caps and stems into thick pieces, about 1/2 cm thick.

In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Optionally, add grated parmesan for extra flavor.

Place the all-purpose flour on one plate and the breadcrumbs on another plate.

Coat each mushroom slice first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in breadcrumbs. Press firmly to ensure the coating adheres well.

Heat a generous amount of peanut or sunflower oil in a deep skillet until it reaches about 170°C (338°F).

Fry a few mushrooms at a time to avoid lowering the oil temperature, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides.

Drain the fried mushrooms on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.

Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve the fried porcini mushrooms while still hot, optionally with a light sauce, herb mayonnaise, lemon, or yogurt.
