Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 250 grams White or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the heavy cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it starts to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Optional: Stir in freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and garnish.
Serve the mushroom cheese sauce warm over pasta, steak, roasted vegetables, or as a side for dipping.
