Parmesan with Mushroom Sauce

You might ask what was the sauce dip I used on Cordon Bleu from my previous post. Actually, I've added and removed some ingredients for this and I've just tried if this would still become delicious. Here is the link of the original parmesan cheese sauce recipe. Here are the ingredients I've used and the actual procedure (Thanks again to my wife, Belle, for taking some pictures):


  • 125g. butter
  • 250mL. all-purpose cream
  • 1 1/2 can 370mL. evaporated milk
  • 1 can 425g. sliced mushroom
  • 100g. Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 chicken cubes; crushed
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch and (not hot nor cold) water to thicken sauce.
  • a dash of pepper
  1. Melt butter in a pot over a low-medium heat. Make sure it's not very hot that it could burn the butter.

Things I've considered:

I've used only 2 tsp. of cornstarch and enough water to dissolve it. I removed the sauce from heat before it gets very thick because it will evaporate most of it's water later and through re-heating.

Expenses(approximate since I didn't consumed all of the ingredients):

  • 250g. Dari Creme Butter (consumed half of it at around Php25.00)
  • 250mL. Alaska Crema all-purpose cream (consumed 1 pack of it at Php34.50)
  • 2 can of Alaska Evaporada (consumed 1 1/2 of it at around Php31.80)
  • 1 can 425g. sliced mushroom (consumed 1 can of it at Php27.50)
  • 100g Perfect Italiano Parmesan cheese (consumed the whole pack at Php159.00)
  • 1 Knorr chicken cubes (bought 1 cube of it from a local sari-sari store at Php5.00)
  • 1 small box of Queen cornstarch (consumed 2 tsp. of it at around Php2.00)
  • pepper (from our kitchen at around Php0.50)

Total Estimated Price for all the consumed ingredients:

Php284.30

Actual Expense:

  • 250g. Dari Creme Butter (Php50.00)
  • 250mL. Alaska Crema all-purpose cream (Php34.50)
  • 2 can of Alaska Evaporada (Php42.40)
  • 1 can 425g. sliced mushroom (Php27.50)
  • 100g Perfect Italiano Parmesan cheese (Php159.00)
  • 1 Knorr chicken cubes (Php5.00)
  • 1 small box of Queen cornstarch (Php11.50)
  • pepper (from our kitchen)

Total Actual Price:

Php329.90 (I've used 1 cup of the evaporated milk on my Cordon Bleu. So I consumed all my evaporated milk. :))

It's ok to use a subtitute while making any recipes. For this, you can use any local cheese you have since Parmesan is a bit expensive. :) Good luck! :)
