Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- You can use any variety of mushrooms you prefer. I use white button mushrooms and baby portabella mushrooms in the photos. I’ve also made this recipe with oyster, shiitake, and creminis. Just throw them all in the pan!
- Use a damp paper towel to gently clean the dirt off of the mushrooms before slicing.
- Do not soak the mushrooms in water. They will absorb the liquid and become very watery.
- Cooking the mushrooms over high heat to a nice caramelization keeps them from having a rubbery texture.
- Are Garlic Butter Mushrooms gluten-free? Yes, all of the ingredients are gluten-free.
- Verify that your brand of Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.
- Omit the Worcestershire sauce for a low-carb/keto-friendly recipe.
- Sometimes I sprinkle the cooked mushrooms with parmesan cheese.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave.
