Creamy Marsala Mushrooms are the perfect appetizer for a holiday party, special occasion, or even a romantic dinner! The Creamy Marsala sauce is absolutely AMAZING! These mushrooms are versatile as well…you can also use them as a side dish, or slice them before cooking and use them as a topper for chicken or steak!
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 lb Baby Bella or white button mushrooms
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced (2 large cloves)
- 1/2 cup Marsala
- 2 tsp thyme leaves (remove leaves from stems)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup Hood Heavy Cream
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan, finely grated
- 2 tbsp parsley leaves, chopped
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms.
Heat butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and garlic and sauté 4-5 minutes or so. Mushrooms will be starting to get tender.
Add the Marsala and continue to cook until reduced by about half.
Reduce the heat to low.
While the Marsala is reducing, whisk together the heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Spoon a couple tablespoons of the warm mushroom juice / Marsala from the pan into the heavy cream mixture and whisk together to temper the cream.
Add the thyme, salt and pepper to the mushrooms; then slowly add the cream mixture and stir the mushrooms gently.
Serve and enjoy!
