INGREDIENTS FOR GARLIC PARMESAN MUSHROOMS

You will need: 

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 ¾ whole white mushrooms, washed and dried
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dry ground oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

MUSHROOMS: You can use whichever type of mushrooms you prefer. Some other options would be portobello, cremini, or shiitake. This would be delicious with freshly picked mushrooms!

HEAVY CREAM: You can also use half and half or whole milk in place of the heavy cream. Just note that it will change the overall creaminess of your sauce, depending on which you use.

SEASONINGS: You can adjust all of the seasonings to your particular taste.

HOW TO MAKE THIS GARLIC MUSHROOMS RECIPE

STEP ONE: In a large 12 inch frying pan, cook together butter, olive oil, garlic, and mushrooms over medium-high heat until mushrooms are tender. This will take about five minutes.

STEP FOUR: Simmer for five minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley before serving. 

STEP FIVE: Serve hot. 

STORAGE

IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed food storage container for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave.

IN THE FREEZER: The cream in this sauce will not freeze and thaw well, so it’s best to eat up all of your mushrooms, or toss any that are left in the fridge after four days.

WHY THESE CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN MUSHROOMS ARE THE BEST

FLAVOR: The combination of creamy, garlicky, and cheesy is a classic for a reason. It’s rich, savory, and satisfying.

SIMPLICITY: The dish is very easy to make with a handful of ingredients and requires minimal cooking time.

VERSATILITY: It can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even spooned over pasta or bread for a more substantial meal.

CUSTOMIZABLE: There are many ways to adjust the recipe to your taste. You can add different herbs, spices, or even protein like chicken or shrimp.
