Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 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 dried ground oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: In a large 12-inch frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and whole mushrooms, cooking for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms become tender and golden.
  2. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Reduce heat to medium and add the cream cheese cubes to the pan. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts completely, creating a smooth base.
  3. Add Cheese and Cream: Lower the heat to medium-low and mix in Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer to Finish: Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes while stirring frequently, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld together.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use whole mushrooms for the best texture and appearance.
  • Make sure mushrooms are dry before cooking to avoid excess water diluting the sauce.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • Pair with grilled meats, steaks, or pasta dishes for a complete meal.
  • Can be reheated gently on stovetop or microwave; add a splash of cream if sauce thickens too much.
