Instructions:
1. Prep the Mushrooms
Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed, but keep them whole for best texture and appearance.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and let them cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes to develop a nice sear.
3. Add Garlic
Once the mushrooms start to brown and release their juices, stir in the minced garlic. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the garlic from burning.
4. Add Parmesan
Reduce the heat slightly and sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the mushrooms. Stir gently so the cheese melts and coats each mushroom in a savory, garlicky glaze.
5. Season and Finish
Taste and add salt and black pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
6. Serve Immediately
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. They pair beautifully with grilled meats, pasta, or even over a slice of sourdough toast for a light meal.
Tips for Perfect Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms
