method
1. Cut off the tough mushroom stalks just below the cap. Remove any broken edges and dirt from the mushrooms but do not wash them.
Season with salt and dip the mushrooms into the flour.
2. Beat the eggs with the cream and season with salt and pepper. Coat the mushrooms with the mixture.
3. Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated cheese and tip on to a plate. Dip the mushrooms in the breadcrumbs and press the crumbs gently on to the mushrooms.
4. Heat the oil to 180 c (350f) in a large saucepan or deep-fryer. Fry the mushrooms one after the other for 2-3 minutes each side, until brown and crisp, drain on absorbent paper and keep the mushrooms hot.
Serve with: potato salad.
