Print Recipe

Tender, flavor-packed mushrooms cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect as a side dish or topping for steak, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Gently wipe them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under running water as they can absorb moisture and become soggy.
  2. Trim the stems if they’re long, but leave a bit for extra flavor and texture.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting them melt together. The oil prevents the butter from burning while still giving you that rich flavor.
  4. Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn—it should turn golden, not brown.
  5. Add the mushrooms to the pan in a single layer. Stir gently to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for about 5 minutes without stirring too much; you want them to develop a nice golden crust.
  6. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir occasionally and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. If you’re adding Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the mushrooms and let it melt slightly.
  8. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the mushrooms.’, ‘Keep the heat steady at medium to caramelize the mushrooms without burning the garlic.’, ‘Prep all ingredients beforehand as the recipe comes together quickly.’, ‘Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.’, ‘Experiment with different mushroom varieties like shiitake, oyster, or portobello.’]
