Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter: Start by melting the salted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Be sure not to burn the butter.

-
Cook the Mushrooms: Add the chopped button mushrooms to the melted butter. Sauté them lightly until they soften and release their moisture. Allow the mushrooms to cook until some of the moisture evaporates.
-
Add the Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the pan, stirring well to combine. This will help thicken the sauce later.
-
Incorporate the Milk and Cream: Gradually add the milk and fresh cream, stirring continuously to avoid lumps from forming. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and is smooth, which should take about 5–7 minutes. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Season the Sauce: Stir in the chopped mint leaves and parsley. Turn off the heat and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Give the sauce a final stir.
-
Serve: The Bavarian Mushroom Sauce is now ready to be served. You can enjoy it as a creamy topping for Breakfast Hash Browns or mix it into your favorite pasta for a comforting weeknight dinner.
