  2. Flavor Variations: Experiment with additional flavorings such as minced garlic, thyme, or rosemary for a different taste profile.
  3. Cooking Variation: For a deeper flavor, consider roasting the mushrooms in the oven instead of sautéing them on the stovetop.
  4. Storage Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
