Notes
- For a vegan mushroom recipe, replace eggs with flax eggs, use plant-based cream and butter, and opt for vegetable broth.
- This dish pairs well with cabbage recipes like sautéed red cabbage or coleslaw.
- Try using portobello mushrooms for a richer, meatier texture.
- Serve as a main dish or alongside chicken and mushroom recipes for a hearty meal.
