Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 450 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms. Stir until the cheese melts and coats the mushrooms.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer, and enjoy the cheesy, herby goodness!
