This creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms recipe features tender whole white mushrooms sautéed in a rich blend of butter, olive oil, garlic, and cream cheese, then simmered with Parmesan, heavy cream, and Italian herbs for a luscious, savory side dish that pairs perfectly with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Butter and Oil

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 ¾ cups whole white mushrooms, washed and dried
  • ½ tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Dairy and Cheese

  • ¼ cup cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp dried ground oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté mushrooms and garlic: In a large 12-inch frying pan, melt the butter with olive oil 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, about five minutes.
  2. Melt cream cheese: Reduce the heat to medium and add the small cubes of cream cheese to the pan. Stir gently until the cream cheese has fully melted and blended with the mushrooms and garlic, creating a creamy base.
  3. Add cheeses and cream: Lower the heat to medium-low and add Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer and finish: Let the mixture simmer for about five minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your seasoning preference.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, pasta, or as a topping for toasted bread.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
