Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) white mushrooms, whole or sliced
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated parmesan cheese
- 2 ounces (56 grams) cream cheese, softened
Fat and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium heat, melting butter and olive oil together to create a smooth, shimmering base.
- Introduce sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the heated pan, sautéing until mushrooms turn golden and release their earthy aroma, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Gradually incorporate heavy cream, grated parmesan, and softened cream cheese, stirring constantly to create a luxurious, velvety sauce that envelops the mushrooms.
- Enhance the flavor profile by sprinkling dried Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring each mushroom is thoroughly coated and seasoned.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly and melding the rich flavors together.
- Remove from heat and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, adding a bright, herbaceous touch to the creamy dish.
- Transfer to a serving plate immediately, ensuring the mushrooms remain warm and coated in the decadent, glossy sauce.
Notes
- Select firm, fresh mushrooms with intact caps for the best texture and flavor absorption.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth, lump-free sauce blending.
- Adjust heat carefully to prevent cream from scorching or separating during cooking.
- Consider low-fat alternatives like Greek yogurt or half-and-half for a lighter version of the dish.
