This is a great recipe. I made these for a Thanksgiving party and they lasted about 5 minutes. I have made them twice since. This is going to be one of my go to recipes. I thought the flavor was much better using portabella mushrooms versus button mushrooms.
These mushrooms are fabulous! Made per the recipe except without the chives since did not have those on hand. They were fine restaurant quality with taste and texture. Looking forward to making these again.
Made this last night and it’s packed full of flavor. Such an easy, quick and simple recipe to make. Definitely a go to side as I buy portabella mushrooms every week! Thank you very much!
What kind of mushroom do you recommend for this dish?

You can’t beat a delicious garlicky mushroom side dish! I made this to go with our steaks and it was incredible.
So happy you loved it!!
