Tips on how to make skillet mushrooms
The key factor is making sure to cook out all the moisture in the mushrooms. Don’t cook them to where they’re all dried out, but if you cook out enough of the moisture, the mushrooms won’t be soggy. You want the mushrooms to have a good sear on medium/high heat or high enough so that the mushrooms don’t burn. Lastly, if you’re cutting mushrooms make sure to have then all about the same size so they can all cook evenly.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces (454 g) small button or cremini mushrooms
- 4 Tablespoons (60 g) butter , divided
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder

- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (or similar cheese)

Instructions
- Brush the mushrooms clean. Trim the bottoms of the stems of the mushrooms if dried out. Keep the mushrooms whole, or if they are large, cut them into bite sized pieces.

- Remove from heat then stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm with lemon wedges to squeeze on top of mushrooms (optional).
I love making this and adding it as a side dish to my dinner. The mushrooms are so filled with flavor.
I added a handful of fresh parsley at the end and perfection! Served with some grilled chicken and hubby was happy.
