How to Make Creamy Mushroom Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms.
  4. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream (or half-and-half) and 2 tablespoons of dry sherry. Cook for another 2 minutes, just to warm through and combine flavors.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
