Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms
Description
The recipe for Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms highlights white mushrooms cooked until tender in a combination of butter and olive oil, which adds both richness and a slight fruity undertone. Garlic is introduced early to infuse its aroma deeply into the mushrooms. The sauce is built with heavy cream, Parmesan, and cream cheese melted together to achieve a thick, creamy consistency that coats the mushrooms thoroughly. Italian seasoning contributes an herbal, slightly savory background, complemented by salt and pepper for balance. Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a hint of freshness and color contrast. The cooking technique emphasizes gentle sautéing and careful sauce integration to maintain mushroom texture while enriching their natural umami flavor. This dish works well as a comforting side or accompaniment to meat or poultry dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces white mushroom whole or sliced to preference
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- parsley fresh chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat add the butter and olive oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute until tender.
- Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir with the mushrooms and heat until the sauce is bubbly and smooth.
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure it blends smoothly into the sauce without lumps.
- Cook mushrooms just until tender to preserve their texture and prevent becoming mushy.
- Sauté garlic gently to avoid burning and to keep a mellow garlic flavor.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a subtle fresh note to finish the dish.
