Chef's Tips

  • Do not salt until the end!
  • Any fresh herbs can be picked and mixed in with the mayonnaise.
  • Start with a hot pan. If you start with a cold pan…
  • No matter how much oil you add, the mushrooms will stick to the bottom and burn.
  • Liquid will seep out of mushrooms before you can create a crust and mushrooms will be chewy.
  • Once mushrooms are added evenly in the pan, do not touch them - let them caramelize.
  • Add more salt than you think you need - this brings out the flavor!
