Things I’ve Learned

Ensure the mushrooms are not overcrowded in the pan to allow for proper browning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply sauté in a pan over low heat until warmed through. You can double the recipe for larger gatherings, as these mushrooms are always a hit!
