Instructions
Clean and slice the mushrooms into even pieces.
Finely chop the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until it has reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
