  Handy Tips and FAQs:

  Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms like cremini, button, or shiitake.

  You can replace fresh herbs with dried ones. Just use one-third of the recommended amount as dried herbs pack more flavor.

   

   

  Swap cream cheese with other soft cheeses like Boursin or goat cheese for a unique twist.

  For a lighter dish, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk. Just remember, this may alter the creaminess.

  For a vegetarian version, replace butter with plant-based butter or olive oil, and use non-dairy alternatives for heavy cream and cheese.

  You can make this dish ahead, sans the parsley, and refrigerate. Reheat gently in a skillet and sprinkle fresh parsley just before serving.

  This dish is versatile and pairs well with grilled steak, roasted chicken, pasta, toast, risottos, or even as a filling for omelets or crepes. Don’t forget the crusty bread to soak up the scrumptious sauce.
