Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently brushing off dirt with a damp paper towel. If the mushrooms are large, cut them into halves or quarters for even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside. Chop the parsley if using, for garnish.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. The combination of butter and oil enhances flavor and prevents the butter from burning.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they brown properly. If necessary, cook in batches.
Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Then flip them over and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to coat the mushrooms evenly and cook for 2–3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden (not burnt).
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the mushrooms for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for pasta or toast. Enjoy the golden panfried mushrooms warm!
