Ingredients

Scale
  • Base Ingredients:
    • 16 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini, button, or portobello)
    • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
    • ¼ tsp black pepper
    • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove dirt. Trim stems if necessary and slice if preferred.
  2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add olive oil.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden-brown color.
  4. Add Garlic & Seasonings: Stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and fragrant.
  5. Finish with Herbs: Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  6. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side or topping.

Notes

  • Creamy Garlic Butter Mushrooms: Stir in heavy cream or Parmesan cheese for a richer texture.
  • Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar for a tangy caramelized finish.
  • Herb-Infused: Add thyme, rosemary, or oregano for extra depth.
  • Spicy Kick: Increase red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne.
  • Cheesy Mushrooms: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or Gruyère and broil for a melty topping.
