- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)

- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Mushrooms

- Add whole mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and release moisture.
Step 2: Add Garlic & Seasoning
- Stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant.
Step 3: Add Parmesan & Finish
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms and toss gently.
- Cook for 1-2 more minutes until cheese slightly melts and forms a light crust.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or over steak, pasta, or rice.
Notes
- Extra Crispy Parmesan: After cooking, broil mushrooms in the oven for 2 minutes for a crispy cheese crust.
- Lighter Version: Use olive oil instead of butter and skip the Parmesan.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
