Pan Fried Garlic Mushrooms with Parmesan
These mushrooms are not just delicious but also incredibly simple to make. In less than 30 minutes, you can have a golden, garlicky dish ready to impress your family and friends. Grab your skillet and let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms (button or cremini work best)
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by cleaning the mushrooms. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water, as mushrooms can absorb moisture and become soggy.
- Slice the mushrooms into quarters or halves, depending on their size.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms, spreading them out evenly in the pan.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and tender. You may need to cook them in batches if your skillet isn’t large enough.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then remove them from heat.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and coats the mushrooms beautifully.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
This dish is perfect served warm, either on its own or alongside your favorite proteins. The umami goodness of the mushrooms, combined with the savory parmesan and aromatic garlic, makes every bite a memorable one. Enjoy your culinary creation and happy cooking!
