Thyme, freshly chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch.
- 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.
- Once all mushrooms are slightly tender and golden, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, for 1 minute.
- Then, add the stock-starch mixture together with the almond milk and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir until sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
- 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.
