Who’s ready for another easy-peasy one-pan dish? Whether you need to serve guests, your family, or want to make a tasty snack for yourself, this recipe is a MUST for all the mushroom lovers out there.

Mushrooms are such a great ingredient to use year-round. They are cheap, and can be snuck into practically any recipe! Sometimes, though, they deserve to be the star.

What Kind of Mushrooms Can I Use?

When you’re using lots of butter, garlic and fresh herbs, you really can’t go wrong with your mushroom of choice! I used a big bag of gorgeous cremini mushrooms that I found at my local Italian centre. These mushrooms are also referred to as “baby bellas”! If you’re a mushroom fan like I am, I would highly suggest checking out an Italian grocery store if you have one near you! You’ll be like a kid in a candy store.

Other varieties of mushrooms that will work well in this recipe are white button (common) mushrooms, sliced portabellos, or shiitake mushrooms would work best. But to be honest, any type of mushroom will work in this garlicky buttery sauce. So good!

How to Make Garlic Butter Mushrooms

This recipe is so easy and completely fail-proof. First, you’ll need to clean your mushrooms. These little guys grow close to the ground, so it’s totally normal to find some dirt on them. Run them under water and use a mushroom brush, a pastry brush, or just use your fingers to loosen up any dirt. I also like to slice about 1/4″ off the stems .

Now we are ready to assemble the whole dish! Over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it begins to bubble. Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together well and let the mushrooms cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes.

Once they’re browned and have shrunk, they’re just about done! Add your minced garlic, and continuously stir everything for about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish the mushrooms with the chopped parsley and boom! Just like that, you’re all done. Easy, right?

Notes

  1. Cremini mushrooms are also known as “baby bellas”.
  2. You can use white button (common) mushrooms, sliced portobellos, or shiitake mushrooms instead of cremini. 
  3. If you want, you can use other herbs such as sage or oregano. For fresh herbs, use 2 tbsp. For dried herbs, use 1 tbsp.
  4. You can adjust the amount of garlic to suit your preference.

The BOMB! Used cast iron skillet to melt butter, added dried thyme and White wine vinegar, mushrooms, stirred then baked at 400 approx. 10 mins. 1 minute before removing mushrooms from oven add the garlic, stir well, continue to cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, generously sprinkle a combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheese bake until cheese is melted.

Well Jo I made them one night for a snack for my Husband. He wants me to make again. I think I will not use thyme unless it’s ground. I also use onion power and parsley. Next time I want to try some Oregano and parsley

LOVE YOUR SITE

Hi Jeannine! We go by weight because each mushroom will vary in size, and therefore in caloric content. Each serving is 6oz.
