Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or your favorite), cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, spreading them into a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to brown.
  4. Stir mushrooms and continue to cook for another 4–5 minutes, until tender and golden.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.
  6. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or balsamic vinegar during the last minute of cooking.
  • Use a mix of mushroom varieties for a deeper, richer taste.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to get a good sear.
