Method

Mushroom Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Gently wipe the Hen of the Woods mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim off any tough stems.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the cleaned mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.

Cheese Topping

  1. 4

    Add Cheese

    Once the mushrooms are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Evenly sprinkle the grated Fontina cheese over the sautéed mushrooms. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 5

    Garnish with Basil

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the melted cheese. Serve warm.
