Usually when making creamy mushrooms, you’d only need three or four ingredients. However, we have been asked time and time again about substituting mushrooms in both of these Brussels sprouts and broccoli recipes, now here we are!

On a side note: Thank you all…because this recipe is crazy good.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOMS

You won’t believe how easy this is:

Fry the bacon until crispy.
Melt the butter in some leftover bacon grease.
Fry mushrooms.
Pour in dry white wine. Use a good quality Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay or Sauv Blanc. (Substitute wine for chicken stock or broth.)
Add garlic.
Simmer with heavy cream and herbs.
Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Broil (or grill) until cheese is melted and bubbling.

HOW TO CLEAN MUSHROOMS

Wipe over each mushroom with a damp paper towel for soft pastry brush if needed to remove loose dirt and debris. Work one at a time.
Lightly rinse under cold water and thoroughly pat dry with paper towel.
Avoid soaking them as they will absorb water like a sponge and won’t brown during cooking.

You want them to brown and crisp nicely before adding the cream sauce. The flavours for this creamy garlic mushrooms starts right there!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CREAMY MUSHROOMS

With the bacon in this creamy garlic mushrooms recipe, you really can serve it as a main, on garlic bread or a buttery cauliflower mash to keep it low carb.

However, pretty much anything goes… especially for mushroom lovers. Creamy garlic mushrooms are perfect with steak, salmon or chicken. Or serve them for breakfast!

MUSHROOM TIPS

Size: Find mushrooms that are about the same size to ensure even cooking.
Type: We use brown (Cremini or Swiss) as pictured here. Choose a type you are familiar with!
Rinse and dry them just before cooking to prevent them from getting slimy.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces (250 g) bacon, cut into strips
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 26 ounces (750 g) brown mushrooms, washed (pat dry with paper towle)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth/stock)
• 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups (400 ml) heavy cream, (thickened cream or evaporated milk)
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
• Salt and pepper to season
• 1/2 cup fresh shredded or grated mozzarella
• 1/4 cup fresh shredded or grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate to soak up some of the oil. Set aside.

2. In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, drizzle with oil and mix through, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown mushrooms and release their juices (if any). 

3. Pour in the wine (or broth) and let reduce for 2 minutes, while occasionally stirring. 

   (Preheat broiler or oven grill.)

4. Add in the garlic and stir it through for a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the cream and herbs. Reduce heat down to low. Gently simmer until tender (about 4-5 minutes) and sauce is slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Add the bacon back in and give everything a good mix to combine all of the flavours together. Top the mushrooms with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

6. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly and mushrooms are done to your liking (about 3-5 minutes).

7. Serve warm.
