8 oz or 225 g whole white mushrooms 2 cloves of garlic, minced 2 tablespoons of Cream Cheese. (you can also use low fat variety) 1 teaspoon of fresh or dry herbs, such as tarragon, basil, parsley salt & pepper 1 teaspoon of Olive Oil

1. Heat a pan with a teaspoon of oil and add the mushrooms and garlic on medium heat. Stir and toss until soft and a little liquid is released from the mushrooms. If the mushrooms do not release any liquid, add a couple of tablespoons of milk or broth. (Sometimes, depending on the season, mushrooms can vary in juiciness!) 2. Then add the cream cheese and combine. Add the herbs and taste, season to your taste with salt and pepper. TIP: To avoid the cream cheese from splitting, you should make sure the heat is not too hot, if you are not sure, remove the pan from the heat whilst you add the cream cheese, combine well, then return to a gentle heat until the sauce is bubbling gently and heated through completely. As you will know, any cream products have a tendency to split or curdle if you add them to any high temperatures, so do not turn the heat up!! 3. Serve straight from the pan, or you can transfer to an oven dish and place in the oven (covered) to keep warm until you are ready to serve. TOP TIP! Some other ways to change this recipe up : Add some chopped bacon Sprinkle some grated cheese and or breadcrumbs over the top and place under the grill / broiler until golden and melted Add some onion with the mushrooms Serve on a slice of toast for brunch, then place under the broiler / grill with some grated cheese. Delicious!
