Description
Elevate your meal with these quick, flavor-packed Cremini mushrooms! Sautéed to golden perfection, then bathed in a rich garlic butter cream sauce. Full instructions and nutrition info included.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) Cremini Mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring much, allowing them to brown and release their moisture.
- Step 2: Once the mushrooms have softened and developed a nice golden-brown color, add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the butter is melted and the mushrooms are coated.
- Step 3: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine everything. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cream slightly thickens and coats the mushrooms.
- Step 5: Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Keep any leftover creamy mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days, though they're truly at their peak when freshly made.
- To bring these back to life, gently warm them in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, and don't hesitate to add a tiny splash of milk or cream if the sauce needs a refresh.
- These versatile mushrooms shine brightly alongside a juicy steak, roasted chicken, or even piled high on crusty bread for an amazing appetizer, or stirred into pasta for a quick meal.
- For the best flavor and texture, really commit to browning your mushrooms in the first step – give them space in the pan and resist the urge to stir too often, letting them get beautifully golden.
