Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 ounces whole white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Clean and slice the whole white mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook uniformly, and mince the garlic cloves finely.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes or until the mushrooms become golden brown and tender, releasing their moisture.
  4. Add Cream Cheese and Seasonings: Lower the heat and mix in the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and blends smoothly with the mushrooms.
  5. Incorporate Parmesan and Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring gently until the sauce is thick, creamy, and all the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving. Serve warm as a side or over your favorite protein or pasta.

Notes

  • Do not substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk as it will affect the sauce’s creaminess.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Mushrooms and dairy-based sauces do not freeze well; avoid freezing leftovers.
  • For added texture, you can use a mix of white mushrooms and cremini mushrooms.
