Servings & Timing

  • Servings: 4
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15–20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

You Will Need

  • 1 lb (450g) button mushrooms (or any type of mushroom you prefer)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional, for depth of flavor)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. Add the Garlic:
    Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Deglaze the Pan:
    Add the white wine (if using) to the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine cook off for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce:
    Add the heavy cream and stir well. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Add the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, and stir until they melt and the sauce becomes creamy.
  5. Season and Garnish:
    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately.

Additional Notes

  • For Extra Flavor: Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for added umami.
  • Make-Ahead: These creamy garlic mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and reheated on the stove with a splash of cream to maintain the creamy texture.
