It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

1. To start, use 2 tablespoons of butter, melted on medium heat.
2. Next, add in your whole mushrooms (don’t forget to wash and allow them to dry first).
3. Finally, add in the garlic and Italian seasonings and allow some simmer time (about 3-5 minutes).

Can I use white mushrooms instead of baby portobellos?

Yes, if white mushrooms is what you have on-hand, feel free to use those instead.

I find baby Bellas have a bit more flavor, so be sure to season your white mushrooms accordingly.

Additionally, you may need to add in a bit extra seasoning, garlic or butter depending on your taste preference.
