1 tablespoon oil olive or avocado
3 tablespoons butter salted
16 ounces mushrooms white, sliced
2 cloves garlic finely minced
½ teaspoon salt to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste

Instructions

Add oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving. Flip them over and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

Notes

Slicing: Be sure to slice your mushrooms thick enough so they won't break down during cooking.
Fresh: Frozen or canned mushrooms won't be as good in this recipe.
Simmer: Don't speed up the cooking process. Keep it low and slow for the best flavor!
Mushroom: You can use different types of mushrooms in this recipe, or opt for a variety at the same time!
Seasonings: All you really need is garlic, salt, and pepper, but you can add your favorite spices or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
