Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound cremini or white mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 13 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 5 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (350°F) until butter completely dissolves and starts bubbling.
- Add 1 pound whole cremini mushrooms to the hot skillet. Spread them in a single layer to ensure maximum golden browning.
- Cook mushrooms for exactly 8-10 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes to prevent sticking and create an even golden color on your mushrooms.
- Mince 5 cloves of garlic finely and sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper into the skillet with the mushrooms.
- Stir garlic mixture into mushrooms and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until your kitchen fills with a rich, aromatic garlic fragrance.
- Remove skillet from heat and immediately scatter ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese over the hot mushrooms.
- Gently toss mushrooms to ensure every piece gets coated with the melting cheese.
- Chop 2 tablespoons fresh parsley and sprinkle over the top for a bright, fresh finish.
- Transfer mushrooms to a serving dish and serve while the cheese is still warm and melty.
Notes
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to get the best golden-brown color on the mushrooms.
- Choose fresh, firm mushrooms like cremini or white button varieties for the most consistent texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan, which can cause mushrooms to steam instead of caramelize – cook in batches if needed.
- For a dairy-free version, swap Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast and use plant-based butter alternative.
