The Creamy Garlic Mushroom Bake That's The Perfect Main Course Or Side DIsh.

How to make an amazing creamy garlic mushroom and cheese bake. This recipe mixes my creamy garlic sauce and potato bake (minus the potato); it’s straightforward and fun. Whether serving this as a side dish or main course, it will tick all the right boxes.

As the mushrooms are baked, they release their natural moisture, which then combines with the cream and cheese. This then reduces into a delicious sauce beneath the cheese crust formed on the surface, resulting in a fantastic flavour and texture combination.

Ingredients

  • 8 Portobello Mushrooms Sliced
  • 120 g Mozzarella Cheese Grated
  • 60 g Parmigiano Reggiano Grated
  • 5 g Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped
  • 4 g Onion Powder
  • 0.5 g Dried Oregano
  • 0.5 g Dried Thyme
  • 0.5 g Dried Basil
  • 2 g Sweet Paprika
  • 180 ml Thickened Cream
  • 4 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • Salt & Pepper To Taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, flat-leaf parsley, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried basil and sweet paprika. Mix together and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the thickened cream and garlic. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms so they can sit flat. Slice the mushrooms and stems into 1cm strips. Lay the mushrooms and stems neatly in a baking dish. It's okay to stack them on top of one another.
  • Pour over the cream and garlic mix, and sprinkle over the cheese and herb mix. Spread it out evenly, ensuring everything is covered.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil, return the mushrooms to the oven, and grill/broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown. Dig in.
Chef's Tips
Slice the mushrooms and stems to a similar thickness — this keeps the bake time even, so nothing's left undercooked while other pieces turn soft and watery.
Spread the cheese and herb topping right to the edges of the dish — any bare patches of cream will bubble up without browning, leaving an uneven finish.
Keep an eye on it during the final grill — cheese can go from golden to burnt quickly under a broiler, so it's worth watching rather than walking away.
Storage & Reheating
Will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Not recommended for freezing — the cream sauce will split and turn watery once thawed. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F), covered, until warmed through, or in the microwave for a quicker option.
