Garlic mushroom saute with basil and cheese

Garlic Mushroom Sauté with Basil and Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with the rich texture of cream cheese and the delightful aroma of basil. This recipe is perfect as a side dish or a light main course.

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1/2 lb mushrooms
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp milk (3.25% fat)
30g
2 tbsp cream cheese
30g
1 tsp dried basil
1.40g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their full flavor.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers, indicating it’s hot enough.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and tender. The mushrooms should release their juices and then reabsorb them as they cook.
4. Add the Garlic:
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
5. Incorporate the Cheese and Basil:
- Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of milk to the skillet. Stir in the cream cheese until it's fully melted and a smooth sauce forms.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried basil and stir to combine evenly with the mushrooms and cheese sauce.
6. Season:
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together well.
7. Finish and Serve:
- Once the flavors are well mixed and the sauce is creamy, remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the Garlic Mushroom Sauté with Basil and Cheese immediately. It can be a great topping for bread, a side dish to your favorite meal, or even a delightful pasta sauce.

Tips:

- Use fresh and firm mushrooms for the best texture and flavor. Button or cremini mushrooms work well in this recipe.

- Make sure to sauté the garlic just until fragrant to avoid burning, which can cause a bitter taste.

- Feel free to add more basil if you prefer a stronger herb flavor.

- For a richer taste, consider using heavy cream instead of milk.

- Serve the sautéed mushrooms over toasted bread, pasta, or as a side dish to grilled meats for a complete meal.

In just a few simple steps, you can create a flavorful and creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauté with Basil and Cheese. The combination of garlic, basil, and cheese brings out the best in the mushrooms, making this dish an instant favorite. Enjoy it on its own or as a complement to your favorite main course.
