Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms

You might be saying to yourself, “Did I read that right? Only 2 ingredients?”. Well I’m here to tell you that you read that perfectly fine, my browned mushrooms in Parmesan sauce are beyond droll worthy and so simple. I guess this could be considered a side dish but believe me you’ll be perfectly content with curling up to a big bowl of this any meal of the day.

Meaty Mushrooms

These mushrooms ALMOST make me want to become a vegetarian. ALMOST! I still love my meat, but these Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms are what mushroom dreams are made of. Let’s get into it shall we? You’ll be drooling over these soon I promise.

Ingredients In Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Mushrooms – I used cremini today but if you have another delectable savory kind on hand feel free to substitute!
  • Butter & Olive oil – When browning these mushrooms I like to saute them with both butter and EVOO. It’s the key to achieving brown butter flavor with no burnt bitter butter.
  • Garlic – Use as much or little as you like.
  • Salt & Pepper – Just to taste.
  • Heavy cream – We want this dish to be completely creamy and rich. If you’d like to cut down on the fat feel free to tweak this ingredient. Non dairy substitutes will need to be accompanied by 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
  • Parmesan – Freshly grated to add to both the sauce and for garnish.
  • Parsley – Mined fine to sprinkle overtop our finished Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms.

How To Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Brown the mushrooms: In a medium skillet meltdown the butter in the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and saute until they start to brown and are tender. Add the garlic and cook till fragrant.
  • Make the sauce: Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce is bubbly. It will thicken up a bit. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary. Garnish with parsley and more cheese before serving hot.

And that’s it!!

Storing Leftover Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms

This dish will store well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. These mushrooms will also store for 4 – 6 months in the freezer.

These Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms are sautéed in butter and garlic until perfectly browned, then tossed in a super easy creamy Parmesan sauce that only requires 2 ingredients!
6

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds cremini mushrooms (cleaned and cut in half)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoon parsley (fresh, chopped)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Before You Begin! If you make this, please leave a review and rating letting us know how you liked this recipe! This helps our business thrive & continue providing free recipes.

Instructions 

  • In a large skillet add the butter and olive oil and cook over medium-high heat until butter has melted.
  • Add the cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and saute until they start to brown and are tender. I like my mushrooms really browned so I sautéed mine for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until it becomes aromatic. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce is bubbly. It will thicken up a bit. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
  • Garnish with parsley and more parmesan cheese and serve immediately. You could serve this over pasta or as a side dish.

Notes

  1. Heavy Cream: Heavy cream is also called heavy whipping cream because it’s whipping cream with a milk fat content between 36 and 40 percent. Half and half can also be used instead for a lighter version, which has 12 percent fat content.
  2. Dairy Free option: Use almond milk or rice milk instead. Add about 1 tbsp of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
  3. Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Make sure to refrigerate within two hours of cooking.
  4. Freezing: Freeze in airtight container or heavy duty freezer bags for 4 to 6 months.
  5. Mushrooms: I used cremini mushrooms which are usually brown in color because it’s a more mature version of the white button mushroom, so the flavor is similar. Because of this, white button mushrooms can be used as well.
  6. Nutrition: Note that nutritional information does not include pasta. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

Really tasty. I switched the cream for half and half and I added a touch of dried tarragon at the very end for a touch of mild sweet to brighten the dish a bit

I just came across your recipe today !! WOW – anything with mushrooms, garlic & parmesan is a “to die for” recipe for me. I only ever use Cremini mushrooms or the full blown Portobello ones. This is definitely a recipe I will be making in the next day or 2.

I made this tonight and holy cow is it good! So creamy and mushroomy. I had 1/2 & 1/2 on hand so that is what I used and I also sautéed shallots with the shrooms and garlic. It was a really nice additions! I’m having it over pasta tonight, but the viewers mentioning pouring it over toast makes me look forward to breakfast! I’m going to scramble an egg for the toast and smother it is fungi goodness. Bon a petit!

I sauteed fresh sliced mushrooms with fresh garlic, in a olive oil/sea salt butter blend with added extra virgin olive oil. I then combined half and half with Kraft grated parmesan cheese and sauteed till blended and thickened . Inspired by another commenter, I spread the mushroom concoction on toasted honey wheat bread. This dish was easy, filling and delicious. Can’t wait to make again and serve with pasta and some kind of meat.

I just made this wonderful dish and I dare anyone to cook this and not fall in love. I had leftovers and threw them in the processor . Now I have a silky, flavorful soup for my lunch tomorrow. Note: I did use baby portobella mushrooms.
