Hold on to your caps! We'll teach you how to saute mushrooms in three simple steps.

Instructions

1 Melt the butter

2 Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. We prefer a cast-iron skillet due to its heat retention capabilities and slick, seasoned surface, but any frying pan will work.

3 Add ingredients

4 Add the garlic, mushrooms and bread crumbs, if desired. Arrange the contents in a single layer—you don't want to overcrowd the pan! (That's just one of the mushroom-cooking mistakes we all make.)

5 Let 'em cook

6 Saute the mushrooms for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. They should be lightly browned and a little crunchy around the edges. If you prefer crispier mushrooms, feel free to let them cook for a few minutes more.
