Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 ¾ cups whole white mushrooms, washed and dried
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp dry ground oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tbsp fresh chipped parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté the mushrooms: In a large 12-inch frying pan, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and whole white mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, approximately five minutes.
  2. Add cream cheese: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cream cheese cubes to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese has fully melted and incorporated with the mushrooms.
  3. Incorporate cheeses and cream: Lower the heat further to medium-low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer to blend flavors: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about five minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking and to ensure a creamy, cohesive sauce. Once done, remove the pan from heat.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chipped parsley over the creamy mushrooms just before serving to add a fresh herbaceous note and vibrant color. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms and ensure they are well dried to avoid excess water in the sauce.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly different texture and taste.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • This dish pairs excellently with grilled chicken, steak, or pasta.
  • For a lower fat version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a light cream alternative.
