Tip Topping

This is a fun little mix to delight the palates of brunch and dinner guests alike.  Like a lot of the food I love, it's both simple and fancy, all at the same time.  It provides some great flavor, color, and texture to an omelet, a steak, chicken, or a casserole.  And the good news is, it takes 15 minutes, tops.

Get some olive oil going in a skillet on low heat.  Meanwhile, chop up some green onion, fresh garlic, and mushrooms of your choice.  Here, I used Baby Bellas, but any of your favorites would do.  Once the oil heats up, toss your mixture in the skillet, then add any spices you might want involved, but in any case, add some salt and pepper.  Over the mixture, add some more olive oil and balsamic to give the topping some zest.  Let it simmer at medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and onions get softer and a little browned.  Use your own taste to guide how long you saute them, just don't let 'em get crispy and burn!

Now, you can add the topping to any aforementioned dish and it'll be in tip top shape.
