- Add 1 Tbsp of oil to a skillet and saute the mushrooms on medium heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Lightly season the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Add in the butter and minced garlic and cook until the garlic is aromatic.
- Add in the heavy whipping cream, broth, parmesan cheese, dijon, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet and bring to a light simmer.

Notes
- Get the perfect consistency. When making a homemade sauce, controlling the heat is important! Don’t boil the sauce or you will burn the milk and the texture will not be ideal. The mushroom sauce should be at a light simmer.
- Garnish. Finish your mushroom sauce with fresh parsley for a delicious flavor and beautiful presentation.
- Storage. Keep leftovers in the fridge, packed in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat. Warm up on the stovetop of medium heat until reheated.
- Freeze. We don’t recommend freezing the sauce as it doesn’t reheat well after freezing.
