Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups white mushrooms
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup cream cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dry ground oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until butter melts completely.
- Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and 1 ¾ cups whole white mushrooms to the pan. Sauté at 375°F for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms become tender and slightly golden.
- Reduce heat to medium and drop in ¼ cup cream cheese cubes. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until cream cheese melts smoothly into the mushrooms.
- Lower heat to medium-low and pour ½ cup heavy cream into the pan. Mix gently to combine with melted cream cheese.
- Sprinkle ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon dry ground oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper into the mixture.
- Simmer the creamy mushroom sauce for 5 minutes at 250°F, stirring every minute to prevent scorching and ensure even blending of flavors.
- Remove pan from heat and garnish with ½ tablespoon fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
Notes
- Choose cremini or baby bella mushrooms for the best flavor and texture in this creamy dish.
- Slice mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and absorb the garlic and seasonings perfectly.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to help it melt more smoothly and create a silky sauce.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use reduced-fat cream cheese.
