Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms Ingredients

- Minced garlic
- Whole white mushrooms
- Cream cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Heavy cream
- Italian seasoning
- Oregano
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Parsley
Heavy cream is essential for this easy recipe. To achieve the perfect, creamy garlic parmesan mushrooms, don’t even think about skimping or substituting half-and-half or whole milk.
White mushrooms are actually the same type of mushrooms as crimini and portobello. They are essentially baby mushrooms while crimini are “teenagers” and portobello full-grown.
The more mature mushrooms have a more intense flavor. White mushrooms have a delicate flavor that goes with most dishes. Though this garlic cheese mushrooms recipe calls for white, use your judgment if you have a preference.
How to Make Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms
FIRST STEP: In a large 12 inch frying pan cook together butter, olive oil, garlic, and mushrooms over medium-high heat until mushrooms are tender. This should be about 5 minutes.
SECOND STEP: Reduce heat to medium and add in cream cheese and cook until cream cheese has melted.
THIRD STEP: Reduce heat to medium-low and add in parmesan cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper.

FOURTH STEP: Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Cooking Tips
Recipe Tip #1 Serve hot.
Recipe Tip #2 If you prefer crimini (brown) mushrooms, feel free to substitute. They are the exact same kind of mushroom, just more mature with a stronger flavor.
Recipe Tip #3 To clean the mushrooms, use a damp cloth and wipe gently to remove any visible dirt.

Family loved it! I added chicken breast and angel hair pasta. This fed a family of 5 and everyone was full. Wrote this one down in my recipe book for sure.

I made this for dinner tonight. I strayed slightly from the recipe...I seared pork chops in the pan & deglazed it with a splash of chicken stock. Then made the recipe as written and added a small package of fresh spinach. Added the pork chops back to the pan and brought them to temperature. Delicious and quick!
