Mushrooms (Cremini or Baby Bella):1 bowl (approx. 8-10 oz)
Olive oil:1-2 tablespoons

Important Notes

⚠️

Avoid washing mushrooms under running water or soaking them, as they act like sponges and will take much longer to cook.

⚠️

Patiently wait for the water to evaporate entirely before expecting the mushrooms to brown.

⚠️

High heat is necessary to properly extract and evaporate the moisture.

⚠️

Add pepper at the very end because it can burn and turn bitter if added too early in the high-heat frying process.
