Chef Notes

 

  1. Substitution for gluten bread: You can add these mushrooms to any type of bread you choose and they can also be added to lettuce wraps or tortillas.

  2. Olive oil can be replaced with water, you must keep in eye on them more if using water to prevent the mushrooms from burning
