Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Whisk together panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, and oregano. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Dredge mushroom slices in eggs, then toss them in the panko mixture until evenly coated.

Place breaded “fries” in an even layer on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Transfer baked fries to a smaller baking dish suitable for serving. Cover with fontina and broil for about 2 minutes until melted. Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan, if desired.
