Ingredients

Scale

Butter and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Vegetables

  • 8 oz whole baby bella mushrooms
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Seasonings

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

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

Notes

  • Use fresh baby bella mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure mushrooms are dry before cooking to avoid sogginess and to achieve browning.
  • Adjust cream cheese amount to alter creaminess and tang.
  • Serve as a side with steak, chicken, or pasta for a flavorful meal.
  • Can be made vegetarian by using vegetarian parmesan cheese.
