Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms are a rich and creamy side dish featuring tender whole white mushrooms cooked in a buttery garlic sauce, enriched with cream cheese, Parmesan, and heavy cream, and seasoned with Italian herbs for a flavorful finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 ¾ cups whole white mushrooms (washed and dried)

Cream Sauce

  • ¼ cup cream cheese (cut into small cubes)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp dry ground oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tbsp fresh chipped parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook Mushrooms and Garlic: In a large 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with olive oil. Add the minced garlic and whole white mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms become tender, about five minutes.
  2. Melt Cream Cheese: Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream cheese cubes to the pan. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts fully, integrating into the mushrooms.
  3. Add Dairy and Seasonings: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, dry oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  4. Simmer and Garnish: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for five minutes while stirring frequently to thicken the sauce. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh chipped parsley over the dish before serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to dry mushrooms well after washing to ensure they brown better when cooking.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and to avoid clumping.
  • This dish pairs well as a side with grilled meats or pasta.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
