Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 12 ounces mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them evenly for consistent cooking.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Introduce the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring regularly.
Once simmering, add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning based on preference.
Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to thicken to desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the creamy garlic mushroom sauce warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
