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 Mushrooms and Garlic: In a large 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, combine butter, olive oil, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Add Cream Cheese: Reduce heat to medium and add the cream cheese cubes to the pan. Stir continuously as the cream cheese melts into the mushrooms, creating a creamy base.
  3. Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors into a smooth sauce.
  4. Simmer and Finish: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes while stirring frequently, thickening the sauce and melding the flavors. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chipped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to dry mushrooms thoroughly after washing to avoid excess water diluting the sauce.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the saltiness of your Parmesan cheese.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
