Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 60 ml Bourbon
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and trim the stems if necessary. Leave them whole or halve larger mushrooms.
Toss the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer.
Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
While the mushrooms are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Carefully pour in the bourbon and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and transfer them to a baking dish.
Pour the bourbon cream sauce over the mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side or over pasta or alongside crusty bread for a main course.
