Ingredients
5 tablespoons salted butter
1 pound white button mushrooms
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons white wine (or chicken broth)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms and stir to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown.
Season lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.
Once the mushrooms are browned and lightly seared, add the white wine (or chicken broth).
Stir well to coat the mushrooms.
Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Reduce the heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 2–4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Cremini or baby bella mushrooms can be substituted for white button mushrooms.
Chicken broth works well if you prefer not to cook with wine.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
These mushrooms pair wonderfully with steak, chicken, pork chops, pasta, or toasted bread.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
