Making Caramelized Garlic Mushrooms with Feta, Walnuts & Hot Honey Drizzle is straightforward and easy. The process starts by cooking the mushrooms until they’re golden brown and tender, which usually takes about 10-12 minutes. You’ll then enhance them with freshly minced garlic, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and finish by topping with feta and walnuts for added texture. The pièce de résistance? A drizzle of warm honey mixed with chili flakes for that perfect spicy touch.
