🍄 Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms – The Ultimate Comfort Side Dish


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 lb (450g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
• ½ cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
• 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Optional: splash of white wine for depth


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add mushrooms and sauté 6–8 minutes until browned and tender.
  2. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in broth and simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly. Optional: Deglaze with a splash of white wine.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil).
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more garlic, lemon, or herbs if desired.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot!

✨ Perfect as:
• A creamy side dish for steak or chicken
• Topping for pasta, risotto, or polenta
• Elegant appetizer with crusty bread for dipping

đź’ˇ Make it dairy-free: Use coconut milk and nutritional yeast instead of cream and Parmesan.
