Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to brown and release their moisture.
Stir in the minced garlic, ensuring it is evenly distributed among the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixing to coat well.
Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour over the mushrooms, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flour to slightly toast.
Gradually add the heavy cream while stirring to combine well with the flour and mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer gently until the cream thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Add fresh thyme leaves and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the creamy mushrooms immediately. Enjoy as a side dish or use as a sauce over your favorite grilled protein or gluten-free pasta.
