Method

Mushrooms & aromatics

1

Prepare mushrooms

Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the stems if needed and halve any mushrooms larger than 1 inch so pieces are uniform in size.

2

Sauté aromatics

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. When butter melts and begins to foam, add the minced shallot. Cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until translucent but not browned.

3

Brown mushrooms

Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Increase heat to medium-high if necessary so they sizzle. Let mushrooms cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to develop color, then stir and cook another 3–4 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the thyme.

4

Add garlic

Push mushrooms to the side and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant (do not burn). Stir garlic through the mushrooms to combine.

Sauce

5

Make roux

Sprinkle the tablespoon of flour evenly over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook the flour for 1 minute, stirring constantly, so the raw flour taste cooks out.

6

Add stock and cream

Gradually pour in the cup of stock while stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate the flour. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer and let it reduce for 2–3 minutes.

7

Finish sauce with dairy and seasoning

Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until smooth and combined. Add the grated Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste), 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and lemon juice. Simmer gently for 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Finishing & garnish

8

If sauce becomes too thick, add up to 1–2 tablespoons extra stock or water to reach desired consistency. Stir in chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and let rest 1 minute so flavors meld.

9

Serve warm as a side dish, over toasted bread, mashed potatoes, pasta, or steak. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
