Description

Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms are a rich, savory side dish made with tender mushrooms sautéed in butter, garlic, and herbs, then topped with freshly grated Parmesan. They’re quick to make, full of umami flavor, and perfect with steak, chicken, pasta, or served as an appetizer.

Ingredients

1 lb whole mushrooms (white or cremini), cleaned and trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried thyme
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to let them brown.
Stir and cook for another 5–6 minutes, until mushrooms are golden and tender.
Add garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until fragrant.
Sprinkle Parmesan over the mushrooms and stir gently to coat. Let it melt slightly.

Finish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using. Serve warm!

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan—mushrooms need space to brown.
You can use sliced mushrooms if preferred, but whole ones hold their texture better.

Great over steak, in pasta, or as a low-carb snack.
