Helpful tips and FAQ:
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms such as cremini, buttons, or shiitake.
You can substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs. Only use a third of the recommended amount, as dried herbs have more flavor.
Substitute the cream cheese for another soft cheese such as Boursin or goat cheese for a unique twist.
For a lighter dish, replace the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk. Remember that this may affect the creamy consistency.
For a vegan version, replace the butter with vegetable butter or olive oil, and use non-dairy alternatives for heavy cream and cheese.
You can make this dish in advance without the parsley and put it in the fridge. Heat it gently in a skillet and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.
This dish is very versatile and goes well with grilled steak, roast chicken, pasta, toast, risotto or even as a topping on omelets or pancakes. Don’t forget the crispy bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
