1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the Hen-of-the-Woods mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the tough ends and tear or cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn them.
3
Cook the Mushrooms
Add the prepared Hen-of-the-Woods mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
4
Add the Cheese
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the Fontina cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and is evenly distributed among the mushrooms.
5
Finish with Basil and Lemon
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6
Serve
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh basil leaves and serve warm.
