Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 225 g whole white mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese regular or low-fat
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs e.g., tarragon, basil, parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Mushrooms : Rinse the mushrooms and pat them dry. Leave them whole or slice them in half if they are larger.
  • Sauté the Garlic and Mushrooms : Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (avoid browning). Add the mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for 5–7 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
  • Make the Creamy Sauce : Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it melts and coats the mushrooms. Add your herbs of choice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve : Transfer the creamy garlic mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for toast, pasta, or protein.
