Description
These Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms are a creamy, garlicky, and cheesy side dish made with whole white mushrooms simmered in a rich sauce of butter, cream, Parmesan, and seasonings—perfect for a quick and indulgent meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 ounces whole white mushrooms, washed and dried
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dry ground oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat butter, olive oil, garlic, and mushrooms in a large 12‑inch frying pan over medium‑high heat until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream cheese, cooking until melted and smooth.
- Lower heat to medium‑low and add Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce is thickened and creamy.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms for white mushrooms.
- Use half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version, though the sauce will be less rich.
- Add cooked chicken or shrimp for a heartier main dish.
- Best consumed within 3–4 days; not suitable for freezing due to the cream-based sauce.
