### How to Make Creamy Parmesan Garlic Mushrooms
1. **Clean the Mushrooms:**
Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth—avoid rinsing to prevent sogginess.
2. **Sauté for Flavor:**
In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 6–8 minutes.
3. **Add the Garlic:**
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant (but not burnt!).
4. **Make it Creamy:**
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add cream and stir, letting it simmer gently for 3–5 minutes to thicken.
5. **Finish with Parmesan:**
Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to taste.
6. **Serve Hot:**
Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with extra Parmesan or parsley.
