Ingredients
4tablespoonsunsalted butter
16ozwashed and sliced baby bella mushrooms
½teaspoonkosher saltmore or less to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat.
Add half of the mushrooms to the skillet and toss to coat with the melted butter. Spread the mushrooms into a single layer and sprinkle evenly with ¼ teaspoon salt.
Cook the mushrooms without stirring, for 5 minutes. Toss and spread into a single layer again, cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes without stirring.
Toss once more and then spread into a single layer. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more, without stirring..
Remove from the skillet and repeat with the other half of butter, salt and mushrooms.
Serve immediately, or use in another recipe.
Notes
I use Sam’s Club 24 oz baby bella mushrooms so I can have extras later to snack on, or to mix in pasta dishes, or omelettes, serve as a side dish, etc. (Just up the amount of salt and butter and cook in 3 to 4 batches)
Can use white button mushrooms, cremini, or portabello.
Use these mushrooms in our chicken pesto pasta, philly cheesesteak, pizza topping, omelets, over steak, burgers and chicken.
This recipe is successful using either a cast iron skillet or stainless steel skillet. Nonstick should work, too, but have not tested.
