How to cook Mushrooms
In this post, you’ll learn how to cook mushrooms perfectly—crispy on the edges, juicy inside, and packed with deep umami flavor. Mushrooms are one of the most versatile and flavorful ingredients in the kitchen, but many home cooks end up with soggy, pale mushrooms instead of that rich, golden brown sear you get in restaurants.
Ingredients
- 12 Baby Bella Mushroom
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dried herbs
- ½ Tsp Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Oil
Instructions
- Gently wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel or use a soft-bristled brush. Then slice it thinly.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet and add butter along with oil.
- Once the butter and oil sizzles, layer the mushrooms in the pan in a single, uncrowded layer. Do not stir right away. Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for 3–5 minutes. This is how you get that deep golden brown crust.
- Once one side is nicely browned, stir occasionally, so other sides get browned too. Total cooking time is about 8–10 minutes, depending on the type and size.
- Once mushrooms are golden, add salt, garlic and the dried herbs. Sauté for 1 minute and the mushroom is ready to be used in any way you like.
