Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 oz whole baby bella mushrooms
8 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Rinse and clean the baby bella mushrooms thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps them brown nicely during cooking.
Step 2: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter together with the olive oil. This combination adds richness and prevents the butter from burning.
Step 3: Add the cleaned mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are nicely browned and have released their moisture.
Step 4: Stir in the minced garlic, heavy cream, softened cream cheese, freshly grated parmesan cheese, onion powder, and dried oregano. Continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
Step 5: Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Step 6: Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm as a delicious side dish or topping.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine before adding the cream ingredients.
Use other mushroom varieties like cremini or shiitake for a different texture and taste.
To make it dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil, use a non-dairy cream, and omit the parmesan cheese or replace it with a vegan alternative.

Storage

Store leftover creamy garlic mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent the cream from separating, adding a splash of cream or milk if needed to restore the sauce’s consistency.
