Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds white button mushrooms
Main Seasoning:
- 1 cowboy butter recipe (double)
Finishing Ingredients:
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet over medium heat, gently melting the cowboy butter until it transforms into a liquid golden pool.
- Introduce the meticulously cleaned white button mushrooms into the bubbling butter, ensuring each fungi piece receives a luxurious coating.
- Allow the mushrooms to dance and sizzle in the skillet, rotating them periodically to promote even caramelization and prevent sticking.
- Continue cooking for approximately 20-22 minutes, observing as the mushrooms transition from pale to a rich, appetizing golden brown while developing a tender, succulent texture.
- Once the mushrooms have reached optimal doneness, sprinkle with salt, adjusting to personal taste preferences, and transfer immediately to a serving dish while piping hot.
Notes
- Choose fresh, firm mushrooms without soft spots or blemishes for the best texture and flavor.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt content and prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
- Low and slow cooking allows mushrooms to release moisture and develop a rich, caramelized flavor without burning.
- Experiment with different mushroom varieties like cremini or shiitake for a more complex taste profile.
