Buttery Garlic Mushrooms with a flavour twist! The herb garlic butter sauce is so good, you’ll be serving these mushrooms with everything!
Pan seared Garlic Mushrooms are a staple side in any restaurant, bistro, pub or steakhouse, and a huge favourite in homes all over the world. BUT, over the years I have made a few changes and added a couple of extra ingredients to regular garlic mushrooms to get the BEST flavour!
You will love this easy and delicious 10-minute side dish that pairs with anything! Low carb and Keto approved!
Garlic Mushrooms
Melt-in-your mouth garlic mushrooms can be enjoyed at breakfast (think Sheet Pan Full Breakfast With Garlic Butter Mushrooms), as a side to Roast Chicken, Pork Roast with Crackle or with a juicy Steakhouse Steak. They are so versatile, you can even stuff mushrooms inside chicken breasts! Or keep it simple and serve them on your toasts (or garlic bread).
Normally, garlic mushrooms are cooked in butter and garlic, hence the name of the recipe. However, you will love the extra ingredients we add even more! Because an extra kick of flavour never hurt anyone!
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC MUSHROOMS
For my recipe, you only need a handful of ingredients:
- Mushrooms
- Unsalted butter — use unsalted to control the amount of salt added.
- Olive oil — just a little oil added to the butter gets them nice and crispy on the outer edges and prevents the butter from burning.
- Garlic — please use fresh where you can.
- Herbs — we love parsley and thyme, but you can use oregano, rosemary, basil, etc.
- Salt and pepper.
Optional:
Onion — green, red, yellow or white! This is an optional ingredient BUT I find it enhances the garlic flavour.
Dry white wine — also optional. If you’ve never added wine to your garlic mushrooms, you won’t regret trying it.
That’s it! The two additional (and optional) ingredients of white wine and onion is what makes this recipes stand out from regular garlic mushrooms — in a good and tasty way!
HOW TO CLEAN MUSHROOMS
Wipe each mushroom over 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 mushrooms as they will absorb water like a sponge and won’t brown during cooking.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH GARLIC MUSHROOMS
Pretty much anything goes…especially for mushroom lovers. Garlic mushrooms are perfect with steak, ribs, salmon, chicken and pork chops. Or serve them as an appetizer alongside an epic Cheeseboard!
Mushroom Tips
Size: Find mushrooms that are about the same size to ensure even cooking.
Type: We use button mushrooms as pictured here, or you can use Cremini (Swiss brown) or wild mushrooms. Choose a mushroom type you are familiar with!
Rinse mushrooms before slicing and when you are ready to cook to prevent them from getting slimy.

Son. M says
I cut the mushrooms in quarters and used lemon juice instead of white wine, but heard red wine works good too if you use a little but of it.
Everyone loves it and it tastes delicious!
I always come here to follow the recipe when I forget it
Esha says
I just use this recipe and substituted the white wine for lemon juice as well and it was amazing!

Can you cut the mushrooms in half and make it?

Yes!
Mindy Mcjunkin says
I made this last night, with my grilled beer can chicken. I was delicious. I couldn’t find any fresh mushrooms though. So I bought canned whole button mushrooms. Other than that I followed the recipe completely. My husband raves about them. I rinsed the mushrooms really well in cold water and then let dry before I cooked them. Can only imagine how great they would have tasted with fresh mushrooms. Definitely making again. Thanks for all your recipes. They are great!! Every time I want to try something different, I now come straight to your archive of recipes to find something tasty.

Thanks for sharing this with us!
Kristen Garzaro says
First let me just say that I usually don’t comment on anything! So let me just say this.. the Garlic Mushrooms were such a hit in my house! I cooked 1 pound of sliced portobellos following your recipe and they are all gone. My son who hates mushrooms went back for seconds! Definitely will be cooking them again!
Sabeena Shaikh says
I made this recipe tonight as a side dish with my stuffed peppers and it was my favorite part of the meal! I didn’t have wine so I used a little bit of beer. I also didn’t have parsley so I substituted with a bit of cilantro. The flavor was exceptional, especially of the thyme! It came together so quickly too. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again. Thanks so much for the tip about the onion. I’ve tried other garlic mushroom recipes but this might be my new favorite!
Karina says
New favorites are fun! Glad you liked it.
Dee says
I made these tonight with center cut chops and brown rice. It was so good my hubby asked if I had dented the car
Tina says
I love mushrooms; if I wanted to cook this without the butter, how much olive oil should I use?
Janet Pilgrim says
I made these tonight and followed the exact recipe, except I used cremini mushrooms. They were delicious served with grilled pork chops.

My family enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Mama Maggie's Kitchen says
This dish looks SO deliciously good. I wish I could eat that right now!
Ed Kruzel says
For those that don’t care for wine, replace it with a shot of Jack Daniels. Less healthy, but so good, is to add a little brown sugar to the butter and let dissolve before adding the mushrooms.
Marta says
Made your mushrooms for dinner tonite, I didn’t have any wine ,but did add the onions. Delicious, will make again thanks for sharing.
Linda Melchiano-Gay says

Hi, pls suggest an alternative for white wine.
John Scardina says
Try using white wine vinegar. It should work.
Lori says
Chicken or vegetable stock is also a good alternative to wine
Yolanda says
How about a sub for butter to.
I’ve got coconut oil n olive oil!??? What about maybe a good balsamic vinegar!?
Claudia says
Has anyone tried making this ahead of time and reheating it in a pan before serving? How did it turn out?
Thanks!
Yanni says
I made it 1 day before and kept it in the fridge (cooked too much for 1 person). Microwaved it the next day and its still good!
Robin says
Try white grape juice, that is what I use.
Claire says
Do you think this could be made the night before and reheated in a tin for Christmas dinner?
Karina says
Hi Claire! I don’t see why not? I hope you like them!
Summer says
Can I ask you what kind of stainless steel pans you use? I’m trying to find one that I like and was wondering if you mind telling me what brand yours is?? And…. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Am spending the day just browsing through your recipes. You have so many good ones!
Karina says
Hello Summer!
I have a variety of different cookware that I use. I tend to lean toward STAUB. Thanks for taking the time to look through. I know that you will find some that you will fall in love with. Keep me posted on which onces you like! Thanks for following along with me! xo
Christy says
Love these but was wondering if somehow this can be done in an air fryer to cut down on fat.
Karina says
That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing! Let me know how you made it and what you thought of it! XO
Brenda says
Can I use red wine instead??
Karina says
Absolutely! Marsala, sherry or any dry red work really well
Lee Hoffman says
I am at a lost as to why the mushrooms in the photos are a delicious looking red; can find anything in the recipe that would account for this. Would the ones who have made it tell me what occurs in the cooking process that provides this appetizing color…..or is it just the photography?
Karina says
The sauce will make it that color as well as my lighting in the pictures. I do not use much photoshop so it looks just like I was cooking it each time. Hope that helps! XO
Shanique says
I just made this tonight. It was a hit!
I love that it was a quick and easy recipe yet full of flavour.
Thank you!

Karina says
AW! Thank you so much! That is so sweet of you! I am so glad that you found it too. Enjoy all the recipes! XO
linda b says
was told could use apple juice instead of wine
Karina says
MMM! That sounds different and good! Let me know how it turns out! XO
Linda says
We loved these so much! Served them with your steakhouse steak and dinner was really impressive. I never thought to add white wine, but I think I prefer it to sherry which is what we normally do.
Thank you so much for the idea! Love your recipes!
Sonal sood says
Can we add vinegar to it inspire of white wine??….this dish will taste good without the wine??????
Karina says
Yes, of course! It will still be great!
Flo Aversa says
I love so many of your recipes.
Linda says
I cannot get fresh herbs where I live, so can I replace the fresh Thyme & fresh Parsley with dried? If so, how much would I use please?
Karina says
You would replace them with 1/2 teaspoon thyme and 1 Tablespoon parsley. Enjoy! XO
Michelle Morris says
I’m allergic to an enzyme in alcohol, but I LOVE mushrooms – THIS LOOKS AMAZING!! Is there an alternative I can use, or would it be ok if I skipped that step?
Karina says
You can skip that step. Thanks for letting me know! XO
