  2. Season the mushrooms generously with salt and black pepper after about 4 minutes of cooking. Cook for an additional minute until softened.

  4. Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 tablespoon of white truffle oil and fresh or dried herbs.

  6. Serve immediately, finishing with a light sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese for creaminess.
