- In a 10-inch skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat.
- Shape the mixture into 3 1/2-inch patties using about 1/2 cup of mixture for each patty.

- Remove the patties from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and keep warm in the oven.
Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free bread crumbs. You can also add grated cheese or finely chopped bell peppers for extra flavor. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour or bread crumbs to achieve the right consistency. For a fresher taste, substitute dried parsley flakes with fresh parsley.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the patties warm with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top for a creamy contrast. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, making for a light meal. For a heartier dish, consider serving them alongside Ann Hines' Spinach And Artichokes for a delicious vegetarian spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place patties on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mushrooms for this recipe?
While fresh mushrooms provide the best texture and flavor, you can use frozen mushrooms if necessary. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to remove excess moisture before adding them to the mixture. This will help maintain the right consistency for the patties.
How can I make these patties spicier?
To add some heat to your mushroom patties, incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the mixture. You can also serve them with a spicy dipping sauce or salsa for an extra kick. Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
Can I bake these patties instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the patties for a healthier option. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), place the patties on a greased baking sheet, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. This method reduces the oil used while still achieving a crispy texture.
