Directions

  5. Cook and stir the mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes until they are tender and have released their moisture.
  6. Pour in the whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the sauce thickens slightly.
