Clean the mushrooms and slice them evenly.
Mince the garlic and chop your herbs.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high.
Add the mushrooms in one layer and let them cook untouched for 3–4 minutes to build color.
Stir occasionally and continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes until browned and tender.
3. Add Garlic & Herbs
Lower the heat to medium.
Mix in the garlic and sauté for about a minute, just until fragrant.
Add the herbs, salt, and pepper.
Optional: Add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic to deglaze and boost flavor.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Transfer to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan for extra richness.
Serve warm as a side or topper — great with grilled meats, roasted veggies, or warm crusty bread.
