Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Slice them evenly into thick slices.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil to the pan, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to allow them to brown. Stir gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and softened.
Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the empty space. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not burnt.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the mushrooms and stir everything together to combine.
Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly, and allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Mix well to create a glossy sauce that coats the mushrooms.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
