Creamy Sauteed Mushroom Recipe

About This Recipe

Tender mushroom seared to perfection in a creamy garlic sauce. Easy to make and ready in 20 minutes. The perfect option for an easy dinner or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Cremini mushrooms, dried with a paper towel and thickly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Chicken broth, or stick or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond milk, or any milk
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Kosher pepper
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded or grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme, freshly chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch.
  3. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, then stir and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes more. You might have to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  4. Once all mushrooms are slightly tender and golden, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, for 1 minute.
  5. Then, add the stock-starch mixture together with the almond milk and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Stir until sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Finally, add in the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese is fully melted, then stir in the thyme and take off the heat.

💡 Notes & Tips

  • Serving size about 1/2 cup.
  • Vegan: To make this vegan, use vegan Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Substitute: If you don't have cornstarch, then you can substitute it with arrowroot or tapioca flour.
  • Mushrooms: I used whole cremini mushrooms, but any type of mushroom can work for this recipe (Portobello, White Button, or Shiitake).
  • Garlic: If you don't have fresh garlic or thyme, garlic and thyme powder will be fine.
  • Gluten-free: Serve this recipe with gluten-free noodles such as konjac, vegetable, or palming noodles.
  • Store the leftover sauteed mushroom in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
